Belkin 1700-011 F5U220V1 4+1-Port Usb 2.0 PCI Controller Card

Description

The Belkin 1700-011, also identified by its model number F5U220V1, is a PCI expansion card that significantly enhances a desktop computer's connectivity by adding Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 ports. This card is designed to be installed in a PCI slot, a common interface on motherboards from the late 1990s through the mid-2000s. It provides users with the ability to connect a multitude of USB peripherals, such as external hard drives, printers, webcams, and flash drives. This specific controller card offers a total of five USB 2.0 ports: four accessible externally on the back panel of the computer and one internal header. The external ports are convenient for plugging and unplugging devices frequently, while the internal port can be used for connecting front-panel USB ports or internal USB devices. USB 2.0 technology supports data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps, offering a substantial speed improvement over the older USB 1.1 standard. For users with older desktop computers that have available PCI slots but lack sufficient or modern USB ports, the Belkin 1700-011 provides a practical and cost-effective solution. It allows for the expansion of peripheral connectivity, enabling users to take advantage of the wide range of USB devices available on the market without needing to replace their entire system.
