PCIe 1X to 4X Riser Card
This Vszerda riser card converts a single PCIe 1X slot into four PCIe 16X physical slots using a 60 cm USB 3.0 cable. It is designed for desktop systems running Windows or Linux that require multiple expansion cards in space-constrained chassis such as 1U, 2U or 3U servers. Builders needing internal GPU mounting or standard ATX layouts should look elsewhere.
PCI Express 2.0 Compliance
The board follows the PCI Express 2.0 and 1.1 specifications, so every connected card operates at 1X electrical speed regardless of the 16X physical connector. This bandwidth ceiling is the deciding factor; high-throughput storage or compute cards will not reach their rated performance.
Bundled Power and Data Cables
Four USB 3.0 cables and four SATA 15-pin to 6-pin power adapters are included, letting each slot receive auxiliary power directly from the PSU. The 60 cm shielded cables allow flexible routing inside rackmount cases, while the onboard solid capacitors stabilise the supply for each attached card.

Questions about this item
How many expansion cards can I run from a single PCIe 1x slot with this riser?
The board splits one PCIe 1x connection into four physical 16x slots, so up to four add-in cards can be installed, though each operates at 1x electrical speed.
What PCIe specification does the riser comply with and what bandwidth does that limit each slot to?
It complies with PCI Express 2.0 and 1.1, capping each 16x slot at 1x electrical throughput — about 5 GT/s per lane under the 2.0 spec.
What space and power connections are needed to mount the four cards in a 1U, 2U or 3U chassis?
The 60 cm shielded USB 3.0 cables let you position cards flexibly in 1U, 2U or 3U cases, and each card draws auxiliary power through a SATA 15-pin to 6-pin cable included in the kit.
