PCIe 3.0 x1 Tx to Tx Straight Through Jumper Cable, Female R/A to Female R/A

The PCIe 3.0 x1 Tx to Tx Straight Through Jumper Cable, Female R/A to Female R/A, is a specialized passive interconnection solution designed for test, measurement, and diagnostic applications in space-constrained environments. This cable features a non-standard pinout configuration where Transmit (Tx) lanes are directly connected to corresponding Tx lanes on the opposite end, maintaining identical signal paths without crossover. Engineered for PCIe 3.0 systems operating at 8.0 GT/s per lane, this right-angle female-to-female jumper provides approximately 985 MB/s bandwidth for x1 configurations. The right-angle connector design facilitates efficient cable routing in cramped test setups and rack-mounted systems. Constructed with precision impedance-controlled wiring and comprehensive EMI shielding, this cable is specifically intended for laboratory environments, signal integrity validation, and specialized test applications requiring direct Tx-to-Tx monitoring capabilities.
