DeLOCK Riser Card PCI Express x1 to 3 x PCIe x1 50 cm USB cable

The Delock PCI Express riser card plugs into a motherboard PCIe x1 slot and provides three PCIe x1 connectors via a fixed 50 cm USB-type cable. The riser uses the Asmedia ASM1184e chipset and is intended to relocate PCIe x1 cards within a PC case, allowing up to three PCIe x1 devices to be connected to a single PCIe x1 slot for flexible installation and shared compute use.

Advantages

The riser enables expansion of a single PCIe x1 slot to accommodate three PCIe x1 cards while maintaining a compact form factor (64 × 99 × 15 mm) and a 50 cm cable for flexible mounting. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of approximately 0.8 Gbit/s and is powered by the Asmedia ASM1184e chipset. The riser is suitable for internal PC installations and includes a fixed USB 3.0/USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable for connection.

Suitable for

• Operating multiple low-bandwidth PCIe x1 expansion cards from a single PCIe x1 slot
• Crypto mining setups where multiple GPUs or PCIe devices share a single slot for power/space reasons
• Distributed compute projects (for example Folding@Home) that aggregate GPU compute across several cards

Key specifications

• Host interface: PCIe x1
• Output interfaces: 3 × PCIe x1 via USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable
• Chipset: Asmedia ASM1184e
• Cable length: 50 cm (fixed USB cable, no USB signal transmission)
• Typical max data rate: 0.8 Gbit/s
• Product dimensions: 64 mm × 99 mm × 15 mm
• Product colour: Blue

How to use

Insert the riser card into an available PCIe x1 slot on the motherboard and position the small PCB where needed inside the case. Connect the supplied 50 cm USB cable between the riser board and the target PCIe x1 devices or breakout board as designed. Ensure all PCIe cards are seated correctly in their connectors and that any required external power for GPUs or other cards is connected separately. The cable is fixed and does not carry USB data signals in a standard USB configuration, so do not attempt to replace it with a different or longer USB cable.

Recommendations

Use the riser for low-bandwidth PCIe x1 devices or for situations where multiple cards must share a single PCIe x1 slot. For GPU mining or distributed compute, verify power delivery and cooling for all installed cards and ensure compatibility with your motherboard and mining or compute software.
