DELOCK PCIe Extension Riser Card, x1 > x16

The DELOCK Riser Card functions as an internal adapter designed to modify existing motherboard expansion slots. Its primary utility is converting a standard PCI Express x1 slot into a full-sized PCI Express x16 interface. This conversion capability allows users to install peripheral components, such as graphics cards or specialized accelerators, into lower-bandwidth slots when native x16 slots are unavailable. The card enables improved internal system configuration by altering the placement options for expansion cards.

The adapter features a male PCI Express x1 connector for the host connection and provides a female PCI Express x16 slot as the output. This configuration ensures compatibility with standard PCIe add-in cards requiring the x16 form factor, even though the operational speed remains limited by the x1 host interface negotiation. The unit is designed exclusively for internal PC use and is compatible with any desktop system possessing one available PCI Express slot. Installation is simplified through native plug-and-play functionality, requiring no dedicated drivers for initial operation. The adapter provides a fixed physical extension of approximately 20.32 mm.
