FebSmart Self-Powered Technology

FebSmart Self-Powered Technology is a new solution to add more power supply on USB 3.1 gen 2 expansion cards. The old version PCI Express USB cards need to plug a power cable from desktop computers power control center. PCI express slot can provide 75W max almost 12V/6.25A power in total. We add a voltage transformer on each USB 3.1 gen2 port transfer 12Vto 5V and provide each USB Port 3 Ampere max power supply. In other words each USB 3.1 gen 2 port will get 5V/3A for connected USB 3.1 gen2 devices. Most of high power consuming devices just need 4~8W which means this USB expansion card can be run few high power-consuming device simultaneously in high speed. To protect USB device and users data we build safety electric circuit protector on each USB 3.1 gen 2 port. Do not worry about data loss or burn storage device. Add super safe and easy install USB 3.1 card on desktop computers and connect more USB device.
