Dual-chip architecture distributes USB devices across two paths for more balanced device usage. Connects through the motherboards USB 3.0 header using USB 2.0 signals to reduce hub layers. Four USB ports support up to eight downstream signals through 1-to-2 signal splitting. Six 4-pin PWM fan ports support up to 2A each for centralized fan connectivity. L-Connect 3 provides per-port transfer monitoring, overall hub utilization, high-load alerts, and custom port names. Supports direct power from EDGE / RS Series PSUs or independent power via a PCIe 8-pin cable. Magnetic mounting enables flexible placement inside the case.
