Flat black 600mm PCIe 3.0 X1 to X4 riser cable with low-profile male connector and foam-backed female end

GLOTRENDS

GLOTRENDS UEX103 600mm PCIe 3.0 X1 to X4 riser cable

SKU CH-78AG-VMTJJ

A 600 mm cable that extends a covered PCIe X1 slot outward and converts it to an X4 connector while keeping PCIe 3.0 X1 bandwidth

  • Extends a blocked PCIe X1 slot up to 23.6inch for flexible card placement
  • Low-profile 6mm male connector fits beneath most graphics cards without clearance issues
  • Converts X1 lane to X4 physical slot for WiFi 6E, M.2 or sound cards
  • PCIe 3.0 X1 bandwidth delivers up to 1000 MB/s, matching onboard performance
  • 600mm round cable twists freely and includes insulating foam base for secure mounting

Reclaim blocked PCIe X1 slots

This GLOTRENDS UEX103 riser extends a motherboard PCIe X1 slot by 600mm and presents a PCIe X4 connector for add-in cards. It suits builders whose graphics card covers the adjacent X1 slot and who need to install a WiFi 6E card, M.2 PCIe adapter, Firewire controller, USB expansion or sound card in a more accessible location.

Low-profile fit and flexible routing

The male connector measures only 6mm high, allowing installation in the tight gap beneath most oversized GPUs. A 23.6inch round cable can be twisted to any angle, while an insulating foam base lets the female end be secured with self-adhesive tape at virtually any orientation inside the chassis.

Bandwidth limits and upgrade fit

The link operates at PCIe 3.0 X1 speeds up to 1000MB/s, dropping to 500MB/s on a PCIe 2.0 X1 slot. This cable will not bottleneck a WiFi 6E card rated at 675MB/s, but an M.2 PCIe 3.0 X4 SSD will be limited to X1 throughput. It replaces a direct motherboard slot when physical clearance, not bandwidth, is the constraint.

Questions about this item

How do I install the UEX103 riser when only 6mm of clearance exists under the graphics card?

Slide the low-profile male connector into the motherboard PCIe X1 slot — it fits in 6mm of space — then route the 600mm round cable to the desired location and secure the female end with self-adhesive tape on its insulating foam base.

What maintenance or replacement will the UEX103 cable need over time?

The cable has no moving parts or consumable components; simply reseat both connectors if the system becomes unstable after transport or thermal cycling.

At what point does sustained throughput hit the hard ceiling on this riser?

Bandwidth is capped at PCIe 3.0 X1 (~1000 MB/s); a PCIe 2.0 X1 slot lowers the ceiling to ~500 MB/s, and an M.2 PCIe 3.0 X4 SSD will be limited to X1 speeds.
