- This PCIe X1 to X4 extension cable extends the PCIe X1 lane up to 23.6inch away, so your PCIe X1 or PCIe X4 card can be installed at any available place in the PC chassis
- Almost all oversized GPUs will cover the adjacent PCIe X1 slot. If you do not want to waste this blocked PCIe X1 slot, this PCIe X1 to X4 extension cable will make it accessible again
- Though limited space below the GPU, the low-profile and compact design PCIe extension cable only needs about 6mm space for installation
- Work with all PC Peripheral PCIe X1 or PCIe X4 Adapters, such as PCIe Wifi Card, M.2 PCIe Card, Firewire Card, USB PCIe Card, Sound Card, etc. To be noted: although converting to PCIe X4 slot, speed bandwidth is PCIe 3.0 X1 at max
- PCIe 3.0 X1 ( about 1000 MB/s) speed bandwidth is guaranteed, just like onboard slots. To be noted if your PCIe X1 slot is PCIe 2.0 X1( about 500MB/s) technical specification, the speed bandwidth will be also PCIe 2.0 X1
- To be noted: The maximum speed of the WiFi 6E wireless card is 5400Mb/s=675MB/s, so this PCIe 3.0 X1 ( about 1000MB/s) speed cable will not limit WiFi 6E speed. But for M.2 PCIe 3.0 X4 SSD, the speed will downgrade to PCIe 3.0 X1 speed
- Operating Voltage: 12 Voltage; Output Power: 30W at max
- If after installation, the computer freezes or blue screen. Please re-plug the PCIe extension cable and make sure all devices are well secured. You may need to reinstall the driver for the PC Peripheral PCIe X1 adapters
- If other PCIe slots cannot be used after using this PCIe extension cable, it may be caused by sharing PCIe Bus between these PCIe lanes. Please check the motherboard technical specification for PCIe Bus Allocation
- Easy installation and no extra driver. Plug and Play, and compatible with Windows/Mac OS/Linux/NAS
Is your PCIe slot blocked by the big size graphics card?
- We know that many graphics cards with big size fan will occupy 2-3 pcie slots. In this case, these PCIe slots below the graphics card cannot be used.
- If you want to install a PCIe device, such as a PCIe wireless card, PCIe USB card, M.2 PCIe X1 adapter, or PCIe network card.
- But there is no available PCIe slots in your motherboard, you can only find a way to use the PCIe slots covered by the graphics card.
- What can we do?
PCIe X1 to X4 Extension Cable
This PCIe X1 to X4 extension cable can extend the PCIe X1 slot to 23.6 Inch/60cm far away, and PCIe X1 converts to PCIe X4 interface.
It features with the following advantages:
- Extra Low-profile design: only need 6mm space to installation. So you only need to ensure that the space below the graphics card has a height of 6mm, and this pcie extension cable can be installed
- The PCIe x1 extension line is parallel to the PCIe slots, not vertical to the PCIe slots. so that the PCIe X1 extension cable will not be blocked by the front pcie slot
- The length of 23.6 Inch/60cm can extend the PCIe X1 slot to any position of the PC case, even outside the PC case
- PCIe X1 converts to PCIe X4, but still PCIe X1 speed bandwidth. You can install PCIe X1 or X4 deivces on this extension cable.
Overall, this PCIe X1 to X4 extension cable is a reliable and practical solution that can perfectly solve your problems.
