PCI-E 1x to USB 3.1 Header Adapter

This adapter converts an available PCI-E 1x slot into a USB 3.1 header. It enables front-panel USB 3.1 ports on a chassis when the motherboard lacks a native header. The compact VL805 card plugs directly into the slot and requires no extra cables or brackets.

Builders adding front-panel USB 3.1

Suits system builders who have a free PCI-E 1x slot and need to connect a case USB 3.1 front-panel connector. Not for buyers who need more than one header or who require an internal USB 3.0 header instead of the 3.1 type-E connector.

5 Gbit/s via VL805 controller

The VL805 controller delivers up to 5 Gbit/s over the USB 3.1 header. The card fits any standard USB 3.0 header on the motherboard and bundles the connection into a single USB 3.1 interface.

Questions about this item

How do I install the VL805 adapter into a PCI-E 1x slot and connect the front panel?

Insert the card directly into any free PCI-E 1x slot on the motherboard, then plug the case front-panel cable into the on-board USB 3.1 header; the keyed connector prevents reversed insertion, which is the step most often missed.

What maintenance or replacement will the VL805 adapter need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; the solid-state controller has no moving parts, so only a physical failure or a motherboard upgrade would prompt replacement.

What throughput limit appears first when the VL805 adapter runs sustained transfers?

The PCI-E 1x host link and the VL805 controller both top out at 5 Gbit/s, so that bus ceiling is the first bottleneck during continuous high-load traffic.
