DeLOCK M.2 Key A+E to PCIe x4 NVMe Adapter angled with 20 cm cable

The DeLOCK M.2 Key A+E to PCIe x4 NVMe Adapter angled with 20 cm cable enables connection of a PCI Express card to an M.2 Key A+E slot. The adapter features a male M.2 host interface and a female PCIe x4 output interface, and supports UEFI 2.3. Its 20 cm flexible cable allows space-saving, angled installation inside a computer case while maintaining a direct PCIe x4 link for compatible NVMe devices.

Advantages

This adapter provides compatibility between M.2 Key A+E host slots and PCIe x4 cards, supports UEFI 2.3 for modern firmware environments, and includes a 20 cm angled cable for flexible internal routing. An additional 12 V power connector is available to supply PCIe cards that require external power, and the internal design is optimized for compact installation inside PC cases.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCIe x4 NVMe cards to an M.2 Key A+E slot
• Space-constrained PC builds requiring angled internal cabling
• Systems needing UEFI 2.3 compatible adapters
• Installing expansion cards that may require an extra 12 V power input

Key specifications

• Host interface: M.2 Key A+E (male)
• Output interface: PCIe x4 (female)
• Cable length: 20 cm, angled
• UEFI support: UEFI 2.3
• Internal installation: yes
• Additional power: 12 V connector (for PCIe card power if required)

How to use

Insert the adapter's M.2 Key A+E connector into the corresponding M.2 slot on the motherboard and secure it according to the motherboard's mounting method. Route the 20 cm angled cable to the target installation area and connect the PCIe card into the female PCIe x4 interface. If the PCIe card requires extra power, attach the 12 V connector to the card or power source as specified by the card manufacturer. Ensure the system firmware (UEFI) settings are configured to recognize the connected NVMe device.

Recommendations

Use the adapter only with compatible M.2 Key A+E slots and PCIe x4 NVMe cards; avoid forcing connectors. Verify that the PCIe card's power requirements are met and that the case provides adequate cooling for installed expansion cards.
