Details
This PCI-Express riser moves an expansion card away from the motherboard slot on a flat ribbon cable 19 cm (about 7") long. One end has the gold contacts of a PCIe x16 card and plugs into an x16 slot on the motherboard; the other end is a full x16 slot with a retention latch that takes the card. Use it to mount a card in a different position, to make room around the slot or to space cards apart in a test bench or rig.

x16 to x16
The riser has an x16 edge connector at one end and an x16 slot at the other. An x16 slot also takes shorter x1, x4 and x8 cards, so the riser can carry a small card as well as a full-size x16 card.
Flexible placement
The flat ribbon cable bends easily, so the card can sit beside, above or away from the motherboard slot. The blue-reinforced ends make it easy to plug and unplug both connectors. The retention latch on the slot end holds the card in place like the latch of a motherboard slot.
