PCIE 5.0 Riser Cable
PCIe 4.0 X16 Riser Cable
PCIe 3.0 X16 Riser Cable
Model: UEX108
Why M.2 to PCIe X4 Extension Cable?
- Usually on a Mini-ITX motherboard, there is only one PCIe X16 slot for the graphics card. To get an extra PCIe slot, you can convert the M.2 slot on the motherboard into PCIe slot
- You want to move PCIe X1/X4 devices outside the motherboard because the motherboard space is too crowded, or the cooling on the motherboard is too poor
- How to use the M.2 Key M slot on the motherboard?
Advantages
This M.2 to X4 extension cable can convert to PCIe X4 interface, and extends to 23.6 Inch/60cm far away
It features with the following advantages:
- M.2 Key M slot converts to PCIe X4 slot, so you can install PCIe X1/X4 device to motherboard
- 10W power supply from PCIe X4 slot. If it is insufficient, 15PIN SATA interface is available for extra 54W power supply
- The length of 23.6 Inch/60cm can extend the PCIe X4 slot to any position of the PC case, even outside the PC case
- M.2 Key M converts to PCIe X4, but still PCIe X1 speed bandwidth. You can install PCIe X1 or X4 deivces on this extension cable
Overall, this M.2 Key M to PCIe X4 extension cable is a reliable and practical solution that can perfectly solve your problems
What devices can use this M.2 to X4 extension cable?
- PCIe Wi-Fi adapter
- PCIe USB adapter
- M.2 PCIe adapter
- PCIe Network Card
- PCIe Sound Card
- PCIe Thunderbolt 2/3 Adapter
- Other PCIe X1 or X4 devices
Noted: although converting to PCIe X4 slot, speed bandwidth is PCIe 3.0 X1 at max
PCI-Express 3.0 X1 speed at max
With PCI-E 4.0 hardware condition (PCI-E devices and motherboard and CPU all supports PCI-E 4.0):
- The speed will downgrade to PCI-E 3.0 X1 situation
With PCI-E 3.0 hardware condition (PCI-E devices and motherboard and CPU all supports PCI-E 3.0):
- ~ 1GB/s for PCI-E 3.0 X1
With PCI-E 2.0 hardware condition (PCI-E devices and motherboard and CPU all supports PCI-E 2.0):
- ~ 0.5 GB/s for PCI-E 2.0 X1
Plug and Play, Easy to Installation
- No driver required
- Transparent to OS
Noted:
- A-end can install into M.2 Key M slot
- B-end can be installed with PCIe X1/X4 devices
- All operations must be performed with the motherboard powered off
