It ensures broad compatibility with cutting-edge devices and peripherals while maintaining support for legacy USB standards, offering a seamless transition path for your existing hardware ecosystem.

Full speed, all the time: dual-controller architecture

The MEC-USB-2012 series sets itself apart by offering dual USB 3.2 Gen1x1 ports, each capable of running at full 5Gbps speeds simultaneously. This is made possible by implementing two Renesas (NEC) μPD720202K8-701-BAA-A controllers, ensuring both ports maintain peak performance even under heavy loads. Whether you're running USB 3.2 Gen1x1 devices at 5Gbps or a mix of USB 1.1, 2.0, and 3.2, our expansion card easily handles it. For professionals working with high-bandwidth devices or managing multiple data streams, this dual full-speed capability translates to enhanced productivity and seamless multitasking.

Flexibility at your fingertips: hot-swap and plug-n-play

The MEC-USB-2012 series goes beyond speed, offering convenience through its Hot-Swap and Plug-n-Play features. These capabilities allow for effortless device connection and disconnection without system interruption, providing the operational flexibility demanded by dynamic work environments.

Tailored solutions for diverse applications

Recognising that different projects have unique requirements, Cervoz offers the MEC-USB-2012 series in both Type-C (MEC-USB-2012C) and traditional Type-A (MEC-USB-2012) configurations. This flexibility allows system designers to choose the option that best fits their specific needs, whether you are upgrading existing hardware or building cutting-edge systems from the ground up. Both variants maintain the same high-performance dual-controller architecture, ensuring no compromise in speed or functionality.

Compact design, powerful performance: M.2 form factor

Leveraging the popular M.2 2280 form factor, the MEC-USB-2012 series is designed for easy integration into a wide range of embedded systems. This compact design, combined with PCIe x2 interface support, allows for efficient use of internal space while delivering exceptional performance. The included bracket and necessary cables further simplify installation, making it an ideal solution for both new designs and upgrades to existing systems.
