The iStarUSA 2RU PCIe x16 to PCIe x16 Riser Card is a passive adapter designed to extend and redirect PCIe x16 connections in server and workstation environments. It features one PCIe x16 input connector and one PCIe x16 output connector, allowing you to reposition graphics cards or other high-bandwidth expansion cards within a 2RU chassis form factor. This riser card is ideal for system builders who need to route PCIe x16 devices away from standard motherboard slots due to space constraints, cable management requirements, or specific hardware configurations. The card is RoHS certified, meeting environmental compliance standards. As a passive component with no active electronics, it requires no power or drivers and simply passes through the PCIe signal from the motherboard to your expansion card.
