The Vantec UGT-PC3A2C 5-Port USB PCIe Host Adapter Card is built to expand your desktop's connectivity with next-generation USB performance. Designed for high-speed data transfer and modern device support, it adds five USB ports-two USB-C and three USB-A-through a single PCIe Gen3 x2 interface (installs in an x4 slot).
Delivering up to USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) capability, this card is ideal for fast backups, external SSDs, high-resolution peripherals, and power-hungry devices. The USB-A ports support Battery Charging 1.2 (up to 1.5A), while USB-C ports deliver up to 5V/3A when powered via the required SATA connector. With broad OS compatibility and backward support for older USB standards, the UGT-PC3A2C is a robust, future-ready upgrade for workstations and power users.
