The HP CTLR with manufacturer number 13L58AA is an integrated Multiport Serial Adapter in the Flex IO v2 format, specifically developed for use in certain HP desktop systems. The module expands the interface capacity of the devices by adding two USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) ports and is designed as an internal module to be installed in the corresponding systems. It serves to extend peripheral connections, enabling the attachment of external devices such as storage media, printers, or other USB-compatible end devices.
Applications
This module is intended for use in professional work environments where flexible expansion of interface capacity for desktop computers is required. It is specifically designed for models from the HP EliteDesk and ProDesk series that feature the Flex IO module system. The module is used in office environments where the number of available USB ports on the main device is limited and an additional interface is needed, without requiring additional external hubs or adapters.
Functions and Features in Detail
The module provides two USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) ports, enabling data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbit/s. This interface is compatible with older USB 2.0 devices and offers significantly higher transfer performance for compatible devices. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology is also referred to as USB 3.1 Gen 1 and is widely used in many modern devices. The ports are of Type-A design, allowing use with standard USB cables and devices. The module is internal and installed inside the computer, thus not occupying external space on the device.
Technology Explained Simply
The module’s technology is based on the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, which enables bidirectional data transfer. Transfer rates of up to 5 Gbit/s are sufficient for operating external hard drives, USB printers, webcams, and other peripheral devices. Compatibility with USB 2.0 devices ensures universal usability, even if not all connected devices utilize the maximum speed. The module is compact, with a width of 41.6 mm, depth of 39.7 mm, and height of 16.7 mm, making it suitable for integration into the designated systems. Its weight is 13 g, facilitating handling and installation.
Compatibility and Accessories
The module is specifically designed for a range of HP desktop computers, including the models HP EliteDesk 800 G6 TWR, HP EliteDesk 800 G6 SFF, HP EliteDesk 800 G6 DM, HP EliteDesk 805 G6 SFF, HP EliteDesk 805 G6 DM, HP ProDesk 600 G6 MT, HP ProDesk 600 G6 SFF, HP ProDesk 600 G6 DM, HP ProDesk 400/480 G7 MT, HP ProDesk 400 G6 DM, HP ProDesk 400 G7 SFF, HP ProDesk 405 G6 MT, HP ProDesk 405 G6 SFF, HP ProDesk 405 G6 DM. Compatibility is limited to these models, as the module is integrated into the Flex IO system, which is only supported in these devices. No additional accessories or adapters are required — the module is installed directly into the system.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by inserting the module into the designated slot inside the computer. The module is designed as an internal module and is not connected externally. Mounting requires opening the computer housing and inserting the module into the appropriate slot. The exact procedure is described in the system documentation for the compatible HP models. This is a mechanical integration that does not require additional cables or adapters.
Operational Advantages
Using this module allows interface capacity expansion without additional external devices. The two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports provide sufficient bandwidth for operating multiple peripheral devices simultaneously. Integration into the system ensures a clean and organized work environment, as no external hubs or cables are needed. Compatibility with a wide range of HP desktop models increases flexibility in device configuration and enables centralized interface management in a work environment.
The module is manufactured in China and is part of the Flex IO v2 system, developed by HP for expanding desktop computers. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology is widely adopted and ensures high compatibility with existing devices. The internal design ensures stable and durable integration into the system.
