DeLOCK 90097 interni USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C PCIe adapter 20 Gbit/s

The DeLOCK 90097 is an internal PCIe adapter that adds four external USB 3.2 ports to a PC: two USB-C and two USB Type-A connectors. It is designed for connecting a variety of USB devices such as docking stations, card readers and external enclosures and supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 data rates up to 20 Gbit/s on the Type-C ports when available.

Advantages

The card uses four ASM3242 chipsets — one dedicated controller per port — which enables simultaneous high-speed transfers with up to 20 Gbit/s on each USB-C port and up to 10 Gbit/s on each USB-A port when multiple ports are active. Power can be supplied via the PCIe slot or an additional 4‑pin power connector if higher current is required. Individual port outputs are up to 5 V / 3 A for Type-C and 5 V / 0.9 A for Type-A, with a combined maximum output of 7.8 A.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the adapter into an available PCIe slot on the motherboard and secure it to the case. If the system PCIe power is insufficient, connect a 4‑pin power cable from the power supply to the card. After installation, connect external devices to the two USB-C or two USB-A ports. Install or update any required drivers on the operating system (Windows 10/11/8.1 or Linux with Kernel 5.15) to ensure full functionality and performance.

Recommendations

For best performance when using multiple high-bandwidth devices, connect each device to its own port and ensure the additional 4‑pin power connector is attached if the combined current draw approaches the card's maximum output. Keep system drivers and the OS up to date for optimal compatibility.
