PCIe 3.0/4.0 M.2 extension cable

This 30cm ribbon cable extends an M.2 NVMe or NGFF SATA SSD away from the motherboard slot. It carries PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 signals at up to 64Gbps for NVMe 1.4 drives and 6Gbps for SATA-based NGFF modules. The male-to-female connectors support 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors. It is built for builders who need flexible drive placement in tight chassis.

Protocol and keying check before ordering

The cable only passes signals straight through — NVMe to NVMe or SATA to SATA — and cannot convert between the two protocols. Verify that your motherboard M.2 slot supports the same protocol as the SSD you plan to attach; a SATA drive will not be recognised in an NVMe-only slot. The package includes two small PCBA boards and the 30cm ribbon. Buyers who need protocol conversion or longer reach should look elsewhere.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The ribbon adds no active components, so it draws no extra power and generates no noise of its own. Its shock-resistant, super-soft construction does not impede airflow around the drive or motherboard. Drive temperatures will match those seen when the SSD is mounted directly in the slot. No additional cooling or power-headroom considerations are introduced by the cable.

Questions about this item

What comes in the package and do I need any extra parts to install an M.2 2280 NVMe drive?

The package contains two PCBA boards and one 30cm ribbon cable. No extra parts are required; the cable plugs directly between the motherboard M.2 slot and the drive.

Which M.2 form factors does the 30cm extension support and does it matter if my drive is NVMe or SATA?

The cable supports 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. It works for NVMe-to-NVMe or SATA-to-SATA extension only; it cannot convert between the two protocols.

What does the 64Gbps headline speed mean when the cable is fitted in a PCIe 3.0 system?

The 64Gbps rating matches PCIe 4.0 x4. In a PCIe 3.0 slot the link will run at the lower 32Gbps ceiling, so actual throughput is limited by the motherboard generation.
