Key Features
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C
The KC-008 adds one external USB Type-C connection using the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard, aimed at compatible high-bandwidth USB peripherals.
Up to 20 Gbit/s
Argus specifies a theoretical maximum transfer rate of up to 20 Gbit/s. Actual throughput depends on the USB device, cable, storage media and host system.
PCIe x4 host connection
The card installs into a compatible PCI Express x4 slot, providing the host-side bandwidth required for the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface.
SATA power and low-profile bracket
A 15-pin SATA power connection from the PC power supply is required. The retail package also includes an additional low-profile slot bracket for compatible compact chassis.
Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The KC-008 is intended for users who need one genuinely high-bandwidth USB-C data port rather than several slower USB connections. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 provides twice the headline bandwidth of a 10Gbps Gen 2 interface, but reaching the full rate requires a compatible device and cable. Installation also needs both a free PCIe x4 slot and a SATA power lead, so check the motherboard and power supply before ordering.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You need one USB-C 20Gbps port and your desktop has a free PCIe x4 slot plus an available 15-pin SATA power connector.
Skip it if
You need multiple USB ports, USB-A connectivity, Thunderbolt, USB4 or a card that can operate without a separate SATA power lead.
Check first
Verify PCIe x4 slot availability, SATA power access and that both your USB-C device and cable support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for full 20Gbps operation.
