Ruth's sister 0573 PCIe 1x to 16x Flexible Flat Extension Cable

1x to 16x PCIe extension for compact chassis

This flexible flat cable extends a motherboard PCIe 1x slot into a 16x mechanical slot. It follows the PCI Express 1.0 specification and uses gold-plated contacts for reliable conductivity. The riser is intended for 1U or 2U rackmount enclosures where full-length cards cannot fit directly. No drivers are required for operation.

Replaces rigid risers in space-constrained builds

Standard rigid risers often block airflow or cannot route around tight drive cages in shallow rackmount cases. The flat ribbon design allows sharp bends so the add-in card can sit parallel to the motherboard or in an adjacent bay. The upgrade is worth it when the chassis depth prevents a straight 16x card installation and a flexible path solves the clearance issue.

Suits integrators building 1U

Builders who need to install a 16x form-factor GPU, capture card, or NIC in a shallow rackmount chassis will benefit from the adaptable routing. Buyers without professional assembly experience should look elsewhere because the product demands careful handling and routing knowledge. Systems requiring PCIe specifications newer than 1.0 are not supported by this cable.
