Slot-expander DeLOCK 41856

The DeLOCK 41856 Slot Expander enables connection of a single PCI 32-bit 5 V card to a motherboard PCI Express x1 slot. It includes a flexible riser cable that permits space-saving internal installation and lets you add legacy PCI expansion where only a PCIe x1 slot is available.

Advantages

The flexible design allows installation in compact cases and nonstandard orientations while maintaining signal compatibility between PCIe x1 and PCI 32-bit 5 V cards. The adapter is plug-and-play and helps extend system capabilities without modifying the motherboard.

Suitable for

• Installing a PCI 32-bit 5 V expansion card when only PCIe x1 slots are free
• Compact or small-form-factor PC builds requiring flexible internal cabling
• Upgrading legacy peripherals in modern motherboards with PCIe-only slots

Key specifications

• Manufacturer: DELOCK
• Model: 41856
• Interface: PCI Express x1 to PCI 32-bit 5 V
• EAN: 4043619418565

How to use

Power down the PC and open the case. Insert the PCI 32-bit 5 V card into the riser connector, then plug the riser’s PCIe x1 connector into the motherboard’s PCIe x1 slot. Route the flexible cable to avoid sharp bends and secure the card and cable inside the case. Close the case and power on the system; the connected card should be recognized by the operating system.

Recommendations

Ensure the PCI 32-bit card is compatible with a 5 V supply and that the motherboard BIOS supports add-in cards via the targeted PCIe x1 slot. Avoid excessive cable bending and secure the card to prevent movement during transport.
