Riser Cable Akasa RISER BLACK XL Premium PCIe 3.0 x16 100CM

The Akasa RISER BLACK XL Premium PCIe 3.0 x16 100CM is a flexible riser cable designed to extend and reposition a PCIe x16 slot within a computer chassis. With a one-metre length and black finish, the cable incorporates 180° PCIe 3.0 x16 female and 180° PCIe 3.0 x16 male connectors to support secure, low-latency connections between a motherboard and expansion card while accommodating tight or unconventional internal layouts.

Advantages

This riser cable supports PCIe 3.0 x16 signalling over a long, flexible 1 m cable while maintaining a slim profile suitable for compact builds. The 180° orientation of both connectors simplifies routing and helps reduce mechanical stress on the motherboard and graphics card connectors. Constructed for consistent signal integrity and stable power delivery, the cable is suitable for continuous operation in multi-GPU mining rigs and high-performance desktop systems.

Suitable for

• GPU relocation in small form-factor or custom PC cases
• Multi-GPU mining rigs and cryptocurrency mining setups
• Test benches, open-air rigs and development platforms
• Systems requiring flexible cable routing to improve airflow or component access

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector 1: 180° PCIe 3.0 x16 female
• Connector 2: 180° PCIe 3.0 x16 male
• Supported interface: PCI Express 3.0 x16 signaling
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.24 kg

How to use

Power off the system and disconnect mains before installing the riser cable. Align the male PCIe x16 connector with the motherboard slot and insert it gently until seated. Connect the female end to the expansion card’s PCIe x16 edge and secure the card in its bracket or mounting point. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain gentle curves; ensure connectors are fully inserted and that any system power or external power connections required by attached cards are present. After installation, verify that the system recognizes the card and monitor temperatures and stability during initial operation.

Recommendations

Use the riser cable in environments with adequate airflow and avoid tight bends close to the connectors. For long-term stability in mining or continuous-load scenarios, confirm that connected cards receive proper auxiliary power and monitor signal stability; replace the cable if physical damage or intermittent connections appear.
