Sonnet Allegro 7-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A PCIe Card

Sonnet Technologies, Inc. launches of the Allegro 7-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 TypeA PCIe card, a cost-effective addition to its range of USB adapter cards.

The Allegro card adds 7 USB-A 5Gb ports to a single PCIe card slot in desktop tower computers, enabling users to connect 7 USB devices to their computer at the same time.

The Allegro 7-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A PCIe card is a full-height card for desktop computers. The card connects 6 external USB-A peripheral devices, plus 1 internal device, and includes SATA and PCIe power connectors for connecting auxiliary power when devices plugged into the card require more than 25W of power. The Allegro card installs into an available full-height PCIe card slot and uses drivers built into OS software to function.

All recent desktop tower computers include a limited number of USB-A ports. Some manufacturers still include USB 2.0 ports suitable only for connecting mice, keyboards, and other devices with very low bandwidth requirements. Additionally, the number of rear-mounted USB-A ports on these computers may be small. For users with USB peripherals such as pro audio interfaces, control pads, microphones, MIDI controllers, and mixers, the small number of ports can interfere with their workflows when numerous devices need to be connected at the same time. The Allegro 7-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A PCIe card provides users with plenty of extra USB-A 5Gb connectivity, enabling them to connect more peripherals at the same time while only using 1 card slot in their computers.

The Allegro 7-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A PCIe Card (part number USB3-7PM-E) is available from the company’s webstore and soon from its WW distribution and reseller partners at the suggested retail price of $49.99.
