3M Twin Axial PCIe Extender Assemblies Gen 4.0

3M™ Twin Axial PCIe Extender Assemblies for PCIe® 4.0 applications is a family of cable assemblies including X8 and X16 connectors utilizing 3M™ Low Loss Twin Axial Cable 85 ohm, 31 AWG which is ideal for PCIe® applications. With their extremely tight bend radius and thin ribbon construction, this family of next-generation twin axial cable assemblies allow for easy routing in even the densest server or rack configurations. They are designed for scalability and tight bends without compromising signal integrity performance. 3M™ Twin Axial PCIe Extender Assemblies for PCIe® 4.0 applications allow you to re-locate a PCIe card slot, or bridge between slots on two different PCBs and are compatible with Card Electromechanical (CEM) connectors. By replacing rigid PCB assemblies, the 3M PCI Express Extender Assemblies can be folded or simply routed to the peripheral card, providing a low loss extension from the motherboard to the peripheral device.
