Connect your Thunderbolt™ 3 enabled computer to external USB 3.1 (Gen 2) devices using this Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe USB 3.1 adapter. Providing up to 10Gbps throughput, the adapter offers four USB 3.1 ports on two independent bus channels, an additional TB3 port, and a DisplayPort output. The adapter combines the StarTech.com USB 3.1 PCIe card (PEXUSB314A2V) and the TB3 chassis (TB31PCIEX16).
Faster USB performance
With two host controller chipsets, shared across two ports instead of four, this 4-port Thunderbolt 3 to USB 3.1 adapter dedicates up to 10Gbps for each set of two USB ports. It reduces performance bottlenecks and doubles your total available bandwidth to 20Gbps.
Increase productivity with Thunderbolt 3
Thunderbolt 3 is the fastest connection available. By avoiding performance bottlenecks, you can accomplish more in the same amount of time. With 40Gbps of throughput and support for other high-performance PCIe cards, you can swap the card in and out, to add the peripherals you need connected to a Thunderbolt 3 desktop or laptop computer.
Install and assemble with ease
Requiring only a Phillips type screwdriver, this Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe USB 3.1 adapter can be assembled and connected in minutes.
The TB31PCIEX16 and PEXUSB314A2V are backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty.
Applications
- Great for file backups, video editing, and data recovery, using high-bandwidth USB 3.1 Gen 2 external storage solutions

| Special Notes / Requirements | System and Cable Requirements | Thunderbolt 3 equipped computer with a Thunderbolt 3 port. |
| Note | USB power is limited to 900mA per port and is not recommended for charging external devices | |
| The expansion chassis does not support video cards. | ||
| This expansion chassis does not provide full power delivery but will provide 15W of power, resulting in a slow charge to some laptops, such as MacBook Pro. When the dock is connected to your host laptop, a charging icon may appear on your laptop's screen. This is only sufficient enough to charge your laptop in sleep state, and charging will require an extended time period. | ||
| 5K support can only be achieved using a Thunderbolt 3 5K monitor. DisplayPort 5K monitors will not work with this expansion chassis. | ||
| A 4K-capable display is required to achieve 4K x 2K resolution (4K is also known as 4K x 2K). | ||
| Certain monitors may be limited to 4K at 30Hz when connecting through DisplayPort. These monitors include the following models: Dell P2715Q, Viewsonic VX2475Smhl-4K, Philips 288P6LJEB, LG 31MU97C-B, Asus PB287Q (these models will need to be set to 4K at 30Hz). | ||
| When connecting a display to one of the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, a USB-C video adapter might be required depending on the input of your display. | ||
| Secondary Thunderbolt 3 port can also be used to connect USB 3.1 (10Gbps) USB-Type C devices, such as USB 3.1 Hubs. Backwards compatible with USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1), and USB 2.0. | ||

Before You Buy
Thunderbolt 3 uses the USB-C connector, but not all host connections, cables, and devices with a USB-C connector support Thunderbolt 3. This means that a USB-C device is compatible with a Thunderbolt 3 host connection, but a Thunderbolt 3 device is not compatible with a USB-C host connection. Therefore, it is essential to know whether you have a USB-C or a Thunderbolt 3 host, cable, or device.
To determine if your component is a Thunderbolt 3 device, look for the Thunderbolt 3 symbol. USB-C devices do not include this symbol. For more information about USB-C, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/usb-c-port-capabilites
