FebSmart Self-Powered Technology

FebSmart Self-Powered Technology is a new solution to add more power supply on USB expansion cards. The old version PCI Express USB cards need to plug a power cable from desktop computers power supply unit. Some times even users put power cable on computer power supply unit, it still drops speed due to power limitation. PCI Express slot can provide 75W max almost 12V 6.25A power in total for PCIE devices. FebSmart add 1X voltage transformer chip on each USB port to transfer 12V to 5V and provide each USB port 3A max power supply.In other words each USB port will get 5V/3A 15W for connected USB devices. Most of high power-consumption devices just need around 4-8W which means this USB expansion card can light up high power-consumption devices simultaneously in full speed. To protect connected USB devices and users data ,FebSmart built in safety electric circuit protector, voltage stable inductance voltage stable capacitors on each UsB port. Users do not worry data loss or burn USB devices anymore. Add super -speed, safe and easy install USB card on desktop PCs.

Add USB Card on Desktop PCs

Step1 S witch OFF Unplug computer from main socket, unplug power cord and other connected peripherals .Remove the cover from computer case.
