Know your gear

This 5-port USB 3.1 combo card makes it easy to add to the performance and connectivity of your computer. It’s one of the only USB 3.1 cards to offer a USB Type-C port (10 Gbps), traditional USB Type-A ports (5 Gbps), and a motherboard header.

By offering a range of USB port types, you can easily connect a variety of modern and legacy USB devices, both inside and outside your computer.

Because the card offers a 10 Gbps USB-C port (USB 3.1 Gen 2), you can save time and avoid the performance bottlenecks that are often associated with other connectivity technologies.

Work faster and prepare for the future

This versatile PCI Express combo card leverages the performance potential of USB 3.1to help you work faster. The USB-C port offers a data throughput of up to 10 Gbps, so you can spend less time waiting for file transfers to complete or for access to your external peripherals.

Plus, you can rest assured that you’re set for the future, as USB-C devices become more popular and more standardized.

Connect different types of USB devices

Nowyou can easily add a variety of types and speeds (generations) of USB ports to your desktop or server, using a single adapter card. The card features:

        
  • One external USB-C port (USB 3.1 Gen 2 - 10 Gbps)
  •     
  • Two externalUSB-A ports (USB 3.1 Gen 1 - 5 Gbps)
  •     
  • One internal 20-pin IDC motherboard header port that can provide two internal USB-A ports (5 Gbps)

With a range of port types, the card lets you bridge the gap between older and newer devices that use different connectors. You can simultaneously connect and access USB Type-A and USB Type-Cdevices, while using only a single PCI Express expansion slot.

By adding three types of USB ports in one combo card, you can free up space in your PC case, and eliminate the nuisance of having different cards for different USB devices.

Ideal for building or upgrading your computer

With two internal motherboard-style headers, this dynamic USB 3.1 card is perfect for upgrading or building your own computer. If your existing headers are occupied, or if you don’t have any motherboard headers, you can connect front panel hubs or card readers using this versatile alternative to costly motherboard or computer upgrades.

Connect your older USB devices

Connecting your older peripherals isn’t a problem. This 5-port USB 3.1 card is backward compatible with legacy USB 3.0 and 2.0 devices, so you can eliminate the added expense and aggravation of purchasing new devices. (USB 3.0 is also known USB 3.1 Gen 1).

StarTech.com 5 Port USB 3.1 (10Gbps) PCIe Card - USB-C Card - USB 3.1 Card is rated 3.80 out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Doesn't work in a 2,1 MacPro running MacOS 10.11.6 I kind of expected it might not work, but thought it was worth the TRY to be able to add USB-C to my OLD MacPro with this card. I'm sure this card would probably work in a 3,1 or newer MacPro due to the more modern PCI architecture. Startech offers no drivers but supposedly none are needed. My MacPro can see the card, is shows drivers are loaded - native OS support - but no devices work with the card of the 3 different types I tried.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked fine for a year Fast at first, let me connect my front USB3.0 header. Last Tuesday it stopped recognizing anything I plugged into it. I was using it for a camlink 4k. Now nothing works. Removed drivers, reinstalled them from the package, nothing. It shows that it is in Device Manager. It even powers what I plug into it, but it won't show actually install or control the devices. All the devices work in my other usb ports.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Consciousness Customer Service Customer service contacted me after they read I had some difficulty connecting a USB -C to my new motherboard. Turns out my motherboard is the problem. Hopefully there will be a BIOS update. Product worked excellent before.
