Inter-Tech KC-008
The Inter-Tech KC-008 PCIe controller is an effective way to expand your desktop PC with a modern external USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port. You can install this expansion card into a free PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, where it makes full use of the available bandwidth to achieve high transfer speeds. Once connected to a power supply, it delivers speeds of up to 20Gb/s, which is crucial for working with large files, such as when connecting fast external SSDs or video devices. In addition, Plug & Play support makes it much easier to get up and running on compatible operating systems without needing to install drivers.

Installation and power
This PCIe to USB-C adapter uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface to connect to the motherboard, providing sufficient data throughput. To ensure a stable power supply for connected devices with higher energy demands, the card requires additional power via a 15-pin S-ATA connector. This connection directly from the computer's power supply provides stable power for demanding devices and supports their reliable operation. The card is fully functional on Windows 10, Windows 11, and Linux operating systems from kernel version 5.3.
Flexible case mounting
In addition to the standard bracket, the package also includes an interchangeable low-profile plate, which increases the card's versatility. This feature is ideal for users building or upgrading compact SFF systems where standard component height is a limiting factor. The presence of the included low-profile bracket expands installation options into smaller cases, often used for HTPCs or space-saving office computers. Replacing the bracket itself is a simple mechanical process and only requires unscrewing a few screws.
