PCIe 3.0 x4 Male to x16 Female Down R/A Extension Cable with SATA 15P Power Cable

The PCIe 3.0 x4 Male to x16 Female Down R/A Extension Cable with SATA 15P Power Cable is a comprehensive connectivity solution designed for expanding and powering PCIe devices in professional and enthusiast computing environments. This kit combines a high-speed PCIe 3.0 extension cable featuring a Down Right-Angle (Down R/A) female connector for optimal space utilization with a dedicated SATA 15-pin power cable to ensure adequate power delivery for connected devices. Engineered to maintain signal integrity at PCIe 3.0 speeds while providing stable power, this solution is ideal for graphics cards, storage controllers, and other powered PCIe devices requiring flexible installation and reliable operation.

Features

• Dual-Function Design: Integrates a PCIe 3.0 x4 to x16 extension cable with a SATA 15-pin power cable for simultaneous data extension and auxiliary power delivery.
• Space-Optimized Connector: Down Right-Angle (Down R/A) female connector facilitates efficient cable management and installation in space-constrained chassis.
• Full PCIe 3.0 Performance: Supports data rates up to 8 GT/s per lane, delivering a total bandwidth of 32 Gbps for connected PCIe devices.
• Auxiliary Power Support: Included SATA 15P power cable provides additional power to the PCIe device or extension board, supporting higher power demands beyond what the slot provides.
• Enhanced Signal Integrity: Precision engineering with controlled impedance (e.g., 95? as seen in similar cables) and shielding minimizes signal degradation and EMI/RFI interference.
• Secure Connection: Robust connectors with secure mating interfaces ensure reliable connections.
• Broad Compatibility: Supports a wide range of PCIe devices (electrically x4, mechanically x16) and connects to standard SATA power sources from the power supply unit.
