This converter from Delock can be linked in the system via the SFF-8654 interface and provides a PCI Express x16 slot. Various PCI Express cards can be connected to the slot.
PCI Express x16 with 8 lanes
The converter supports four PCIe lanes per SFF-8654 port and thus offers a maximum of 8 lanes. Thus, it is possible to use the converter with only one SFF-8654 connection, as long as the respective PCI Express card only requires a maximum of four PCIe lanes.
PCIe fork
The converter can be connected to a PCI Express card that has the PCIe Bifurcation function to provide eight lanes (x4 + x4) on the PCIe x16 slot. This allows PCI Express cards with bifurcation function to be connected to the PCI Express slot of the converter, for example to connect two M.2 or U.2 SSDs.
