Κάρτα διασύνδεσης DeLOCK 63172 M.2 USB 3.2 Gen 1

The DeLOCK 63172 is an M.2 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 converter that allows installation of M.2 modules in 2242 or 3042 form factors. It connects to a host system via a USB Type-A interface and is enclosed in a sturdy metal housing that protects the inserted module during mobile use. Two SMA antenna connectors and the supplied antennas enable connection to external radio signals or separate antennas for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz when a Wi‑Fi module is used.

Advantages

The metal housing provides mechanical protection for the M.2 card while the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface ensures fast and reliable data transfer. Integrated SMA antenna connectors and included antennas offer flexible reception for cellular or Wi‑Fi modules. Compact dimensions make the converter suitable for space‑constrained installations.

Suitable for

• Installation of M.2 LTE, GSM, GPRS or 3G modules (2242 / 3042)
• Use with M.2 Wi‑Fi modules requiring external antennas (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
• Connecting M.2 modules to systems with a USB Type‑A port

How to use

Insert a compatible M.2 module (2242 or 3042) into the M.2 slot and secure it according to the module type. Connect the converter to a host computer using a USB Type‑A cable. Attach the supplied SMA antennas to the antenna connectors or replace them with other compatible antennas if required. The system should recognise the module through the USB interface and any necessary drivers should be installed according to the module manufacturer.

Recommendations

If the module requires drivers, install the manufacturer’s drivers before connecting the device. For mobile or outdoor use, ensure the antenna connections are secure and avoid exposing the metal housing to strong mechanical shocks. Use antennas matched to the module’s frequency bands for best reception.
