Converter 2 x SFF-8654 to PCIe x16 Bifurcation DeLOCK 64148

This converter by Delock connects to the system via two SFF-8654 ports and provides a PCI Express x16 slot supporting up to eight PCIe lanes. It enables connecting different PCI Express cards to a system that offers SFF-8654 interfaces, and supports use with a single SFF-8654 port when the attached PCIe card requires up to four lanes. The product has a compact form factor (40 mm width, 150 mm depth, 21 mm height) and a black finish.

Advantages

The DeLOCK 64148 converter supports up to eight PCIe lanes by combining two SFF-8654 connections, and it is compatible with PCIe bifurcation to split the x16 slot into two x4 segments (x4 + x4) when the host and card support this function. Its compact dimensions and standard PCIe x16 slot make it suitable for integrating multiple PCIe devices such as NVMe add-in cards or expansion cards where SFF-8654 interfaces are available.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCI Express x16 cards to systems with SFF-8654 ports
• Use with PCIe bifurcation-capable host and cards to provide x4 + x4 lanes
• Installing NVMe or U.2 adapter cards that require multiple PCIe lanes

How to use

Install the converter by connecting the two SFF-8654 cables from the host system to the converter’s SFF-8654 ports, or use a single SFF-8654 connection if the PCIe card requires no more than four lanes. Insert the PCI Express x16 card into the converter’s PCIe x16 slot and secure it according to the card and chassis instructions. If PCIe bifurcation is needed, enable bifurcation in the host system BIOS or firmware and ensure the connected PCIe card supports bifurcation (x4 + x4).

Recommendations

Confirm host controller and PCIe card support for the required number of lanes and for bifurcation before installation. Use appropriate cables and follow system manufacturer guidelines for BIOS/firmware settings and secure mounting of the PCIe card.
