Riser Card DELOCK 81593 PCI Express 5.0 x16, 30 cm cable length

DELOCK 81593 is a PCI Express 5.0 x16 riser card with a 30 cm cable designed to extend and relocate a PCIe x16 slot within a computer chassis. The assembly enables a flexible connection between a motherboard PCIe slot and a graphics card or expansion card, maintaining PCIe 5.0 bandwidth while providing freedom for alternative card placement and improved airflow in compact or custom PC builds.

Advantages

The riser card preserves PCIe 5.0 x16 electrical compatibility and bandwidth over a 30 cm flexible cable, allowing high-speed data transfer without sacrificing signal integrity when used according to specifications. Its flexible cable form factor simplifies installation in small form-factor cases or custom layouts and supports repositioning of heavy or large add-in cards to improve cooling and space management.

Suitable for

• Custom PC builds needing alternative placement of a PCIe x16 graphics or expansion card
• Small form-factor cases where direct card installation is impractical
• Systems requiring improved airflow or different card orientation for thermal management
• Test benches and development setups that require removable or repositionable PCIe devices

Key specifications

• Interface standard: PCI Express 5.0
• Connector configuration: x16 link
• Cable length: 30 cm (flexible cable)
• Form factor: riser card with attached flexible cable
• Compatibility: designed for motherboards and add-in cards that support PCIe x16 signaling

How to use

Install the riser card by connecting the primary end to the motherboard PCIe x16 slot and mounting the opposite end to the add-in card following the card and chassis manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends and maintain clearance from components that generate heat. Secure both connectors firmly to prevent movement, and verify that the system BIOS and operating system detect the connected device. Power the add-in card with the appropriate PCIe power cables if required by the card.

Recommendations

Use the riser inside cases with adequate ventilation and avoid tight bends in the cable to preserve signal integrity. Confirm motherboard and expansion card compatibility with PCIe 5.0 x16 operation and consult device documentation for required power connections and mounting constraints.
