Fervit PCIe 1x to 16x Riser Cable 20cm

SKU CH-H8DZ-J54AZ

A flexible PCIe 1x to 16x riser with 20 cm cable length and gold-plated connectors for 1U and 2U chassis

  • Fits 1U and 2U chassis with a 20cm flexible cable
  • Supports x1, x4, x8 and x16 cards at x1 electrical speed
  • Bolt-secured PCB ends prevent solder-joint tears and shorts
  • Gold-finger cover protects contacts during handling and insertion
  • Rated for PCIe Gen3 8Gbps throughput over the 24cm total length

Purpose and fit

This Fervit riser converts a PCIe 1x slot into a 16x physical connector so full-length cards can fit inside 1U or 2U chassis. It is intended for builders who need to add expansion cards to space-constrained servers or workstations where a full-size slot is unavailable. The electrical link remains at 1x speed regardless of the card inserted.

Before you order

Verify that your motherboard has a free PCIe 1x slot and that the chassis can accommodate the 24 cm total length with the 20 cm flexible cable section. The card you plan to install must operate correctly at 1x bandwidth; devices that require higher lane counts for basic function will not be suitable. Ensure the mounting points allow the bolted PCB ends to be secured without stress on the solder joints.

Sustained operation

The axial cable construction and gold-plated fingers are rated for stable PCIe Gen3 8 Gbps signalling during continuous use. Bolted PCB reinforcement prevents trace fatigue when the riser is left in a fixed position for long periods. Thermal behaviour depends on the installed card and chassis airflow; the riser itself adds no active cooling and relies on the surrounding environment to dissipate any heat generated by the connected device.

Questions about this item

Does the 20 cm cable ship with any mounting brackets or screws, or do I need to supply my own?

The riser includes a PCB swaddled and fixed with bolts and nuts to protect the solder points; no extra brackets or screws are mentioned.

The listing mentions 1x, 4x, 8x and 16x cards — which one should I pick for a single-lane mining or server setup?

Any x1, x4, x8 or x16 card will fit physically, but the link operates at x1 speed only, so choose the card that matches your workload, not the slot width.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the Gen3 8 Gbps link once the riser is installed in a 1U chassis?

The cable is rated for stable PCIe Gen3 8 Gbps signalling; in a 1U or 2U case it will deliver a single-lane 8 Gbps connection, limited to x1 electrical speed.
