PCIe 4.0 CFexpress Type-B to M.2 2280 Key M Extension Cable

PCIe 4.0 CFexpress Type-B to M.2 2280 Key M Extension Cable

The PCIe 4.0 CFexpress Type-B to M.2 2280 Key M Extension Cable is a high-performance interface conversion and extension solution designed for professional media and storage applications. This specialized cable enables the connection of standard M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs to CFexpress Type-B compatible devices, providing both interface conversion and physical extension capabilities. By converting the CFexpress Type-B interface to M.2 Key M and extending the connection through a high-quality cable assembly, this solution offers flexibility in device placement and storage configuration while maintaining full PCIe 4.0 performance. The cable is particularly valuable for content creators, photographers, and videographers who require the high-speed performance of NVMe storage in CFexpress-based equipment with enhanced placement flexibility. Operating at PCIe 4.0 speeds with a x2 lane configuration, the cable delivers approximately 32 Gbps of raw bandwidth, making it an ideal solution for 8K video recording, high-speed burst photography, and data-intensive workflows.

Features

• The cable features a standard CFexpress Type-B male connector on the host side, ensuring seamless compatibility with cameras and devices equipped with CFexpress Type-B slots, including professional DSLR and mirrorless cameras such as Canon R5, Nikon Z6, and Nikon Z7.
• On the target end, the cable presents an M.2 2280 Key M female slot, accommodating standard M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs with Key M or Key B+M based on PCIe. This allows users to leverage cost-effective, high-capacity NVMe drives as removable storage media for CFexpress-compatible devices.
• The cable supports PCIe 4.0 signalling with a per-lane data rate of up to 16 GT/s in a x2 lane configuration, delivering approximately 32 Gbps of total raw bandwidth, which is fully compliant with the CFexpress Type-B specification for full-speed operation.
• The cable is engineered with a shielded flexible cable assembly that maintains signal integrity at high data rates, ensuring reliable performance for demanding media workflows. The connector terminals are gold-plated for excellent conductivity, which reduces oxidation and rust resistance issues that could otherwise lead to signal degradation or intermittent disconnection.
• The PCB features a high-frequency, low-attenuation design with differential signal reinforcement, eliminating parasitic capacitance and inductance that could cause signal attenuation. The power circuit features enhanced wiring design, and the PCB board is miniaturized to reduce mechanical interference and ensure easy installation. The PCB uses high TG material with copper thickness thickened to 1oz for enhanced durability and signal integrity.
• The flexible cable design allows physical separation between the storage device and the host equipment, providing enhanced placement flexibility for customized camera rigs, field recording setups, and broadcast configurations.
• The connector is rated for 5,000 insertion cycles, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance in professional environments.
