PCI Express (PCIe) Cable for board to board link

In summary, a PCIe cable for board to board link is a high-speed data transfer cable that connects two devices within a computer system. It works by providing a direct point-to-point connection, resulting in faster data transfer and reduced latency. The main benefits of using a PCIe cable for board to board link are improved system performance, reliability, and lifespan. This type of cable can be used to connect various devices within a computer system, and when choosing one, factors such as data transfer speed, cable length, and compatibility should be considered.

Is there a PCIe cable system available that attaches to a standard PCIe Board Edge Connector or Mother Board PCIe slot?

I see Molex has the iPass cabling system for PCIe board to board connections. But based on the Molex connection pinning (68pins for x8 PCIe) it is more of a custom solution and cannot be adapted to connect to an existing standard PCIe x8 Card/Slot.

Hi,

Did you figure out?
I found some solution for laptop only.
I'm interesting in the solution you got.

Eric.
