The EX-1167 extends a USB 3.2 Gen 1 output (formerly known as USB 3.0) of a desktop computer by seven additional USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. It is installed in a free 3.5" front-bay on the PC. It is therefore possible to connect up to seven external USB 2.0 or 3.2 Gen 1 peripherals to a USB 2.0 or 3.2 Gen 1 port of a desktop computer.
