The “host adapter M2.E” supports 2 PCIe Gen3 lines which are connected to the client adapter via 2 Mini Display port cables (2 lines each).
With Digital Devices cables, the optimal setting in the host and client adapters is done automatically.
Cable lengths from 0.5m – 7.0 m are possible.
There is a Low Profile and a Full Profile slot bracket available.
