SKU CH-48H9-FJX5D

Connects a PCIe x8 card to an M.2 Key A or E slot using a 270-degree cable with optional 4-pin FDD power

  • Connect PCIe cards to M.2 Key A-E slots via 270-degree adapter cable
  • Power 12 V devices through 4-pin FDD connector when needed
  • Accepts x1, x4, x8 and x16 cards though speed limited to x1 by M.2
  • Supports M.2 2230 form factor with PCIe 3.0 stable transfer
  • Works with Windows XP through 11 and Linux without drivers

M.2 Key A-E to PCIe x8 Adapter Cable

This Vszerda adapter cable connects a standard PCI Express x8 card to an M.2 Key A or E slot on the motherboard. It features a 270-degree angled M.2 connector and includes a 4-pin FDD power connector to supply 12 V to the attached device. The cable supports PCIe 3.0 signalling and requires no driver installation.

Builders with an M.2 Key A-E slot seeking PCIe

The adapter suits builders who have a free M.2 Key A or E slot wired for PCIe and want to add a PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 card. It is not for users whose M.2 slot only supports CNVio2 devices such as the 9560 or AX201 modules. Buyers needing an M.2 Key M slot for storage devices should look elsewhere.

M.2 2230 form-factor support

The cable accepts M.2 modules in the 2230 size, which determines whether a specific card will physically fit the adapter. Compatibility also depends on the motherboard slot providing a genuine PCIe interface rather than CNVio2. No other form factors are supported by this adapter.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the M.2 2230 form factor for my motherboard slot?

The adapter is designed for M.2 type 2230 sockets with dual Key A-E, so it fits that specific size and keying.

What actual throughput will I see when a PCIe 3.0 x8 card is connected through the M.2 slot?

The M.2 interface limits the link to x1 electrical speed, so a PCIe 3.0 x8 card will run at x1 bandwidth despite the physical x8 connector.

Does the 4-pin FDD power connector supply 12 V to the PCIe card, and when is it required?

The 4-pin FDD connector delivers 12 V power; attach it only if the installed PCIe device needs auxiliary 12 V, otherwise leave it unplugged.
