M.2 A.E Key to mPCIe Adapter Cable 60CM N2AB

This Hetai Tech adapter connects an M.2 A.E key Wi-Fi or Bluetooth module to a mini PCIe slot. It suits builders who need to relocate a wireless card in a compact chassis or test equipment with different slot types.

Installation notes and common issues

The cable uses a 180-degree inverted connector that routes the M.2 module away from the mPCIe slot. Ensure the keying matches A.E exactly; B-key or M-key modules will not fit. The metal-shielded flat cable reduces EMI but adds stiffness, so plan the bend radius before securing the board.

PCIe 3.0 x1 bandwidth limit

The link operates at PCIe 3.0 x1 with a maximum of 8 Gbps. Wireless cards that require x2 or x4 lanes will run at reduced throughput. The 60 cm length is within the offered range but longer runs can increase latency and signal loss compared to shorter cables.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the N2AB adapter is running at PCIe 3.0 x1 speeds after installation?

Check the link speed in your operating system's device manager or BIOS; the adapter supports up to 8G/bps on a single lane.

What comes with the 60 cm N2AB cable and what must I source separately?

The package includes the M.2 A.E key to mPCIe adapter cable; you will need to provide the host M.2 slot and the target mPCIe device yourself.

Which version should I choose if I need an M.2 A.E key to mPCIe connection with a 180-degree connector turn?

Select the N2AB option, which is specified for M.2 A.E key NGFF to mPCIe with a 180-degree inverted connector turn.
