3M Twin Axial PCIe Extender Assemblies Gen 4.0
3M Twin Axial PCIe Extender Assemblies Gen 4.0 are a family of cable assemblies that includes X8 and X16 connectors utilizing 3M Low Loss Twin Axial Cable 85Ω, 31AWG. These twin cable assemblies are essential for the efficient operation of systems that process large volumes of data and can be highly routable, foldable, and flexible. The assemblies allow re-locating a PCIe card slot or bridge between slots on two different PCBs and are compatible with Card Electromechanical (CEM) connectors. The twin axial PCIe assemblies can be folded or routed to the peripheral card, providing a low-loss extension from the motherboard to the peripheral device by replacing rigid PCB assemblies. Typical applications include AI training servers, and personal computers.

The old proverb “you can’t have your cake and eat it too” has finally been disproved. 3M Twin Ax PCIe Extender Assemblies for PCIe 4.0 maximize routing, folding, and flexible capability for optimum CPU space and airflow while delivering high bandwidth, resonance-free signal integrity performance. The high-speed, low-loss assemblies support data rates up to 16Gbps for large data processing operations on personal computers and servers. Multiple configurations are available in a 31AWG signal wire size with standard lengths of 0.25m and 0.5m. Using 3m Twin Axial cable technology, the thin ribbon cable construction allows a tight bend radius and low profile for easy routing in custom layouts that replace rigid PCB assemblies and other high cable count applications with NVMe drives.
