USB allows peripheral devices to exchange data with a PC and also to receive power over the USB bus. Unfortunately, the bus supplied power is limit to 2.5 Watts (0.5A @ +5V) per port, sufficient to provide enough power to input devices, web cameras among other low power devices. Other devices like printer, displays, pin pads, external DVD-ROM and hard drives still require an external power supply. Here comes Powered USB, it eliminates the need for additional power supplies. Powered USB provides the necessary power as well as the communication signals over a hot pluggable cable. In addition, the Powered USB solves the physical host side cable locking problem associated with the standard USB connector by providing a host cable locking mechanism.

Safe your valuable space and get rid of the peripherals’ power supplies using the Powered USB PCI Express Add-On card.
