Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ M.2 M-key to PCIe x16 lets a NUC or SFF board run a full desktop GPU
  • ✓ Rated for PCIe 3.0 x16 at 8 GT/s per ADT-LINK's spec
  • ✓ 25cm run sits well inside the sub-60cm full-speed window ADT cites
  • ✓ Lotes connectors and 1oz-copper high-TG PCB for lower gold-finger oxidation
  • ✓ Vendor lists GTX 1080 Ti, RX 580, Vega 64, Quadro K1200 as tested cards

Cons

  • ✗ No external notebook GPU support, per ADT-LINK's own note
  • ✗ Orientation must be identified before connecting or you risk a bad seat
  • ✗ Cable spec only covers PCIe cards from 2015 onward; older gear is unverified

Key Features

  • 1. Wire advantages: using the German patent imported wire, using the Lotes connectors which imported from Taiwan, high frequency support PCIe 3.0 X16 8G/bps stable transfer.
  • 2.Cable length: from 10?cm to 100 cm can be customized, our wire has a low impedance, the cable below 60cm can be stable at PCIe3.0 full speed reading and writing.
  • 3.Differential signal without hole design, there is no problem of signal attenuation interference in a parasitic capacitance and parasitic inductance, there will be no more CAF micro short circuit, cable is durability.
  • 4.PCB use high frequency low resistance of materials with high quality, PCB using high TG board, copper thickness thicken to 1oz, gold finger plating enough gold, Good conductive performance, can reduce oxidize higher impedance caused by the crash blue screen.
  • 5.Suitable graphics card:?GTX1080ti High-end graphics CARDS, fireprow7100, radeon RX580, VEGA64, prowx5100, quadroK1200 professional graphics card, support for all the PCIe CARDS after 2015 years.Note: This product does not support external notebook graphics!
