Ribbon Cable, Azza ACAZ-20R-L, PCI-e 3.0 x16, White

The AZZA ACAZ-20R-L ribbon cable provides a PCI-e 3.0 x16 interface in a compact 0.2 m form factor with male and female connectors. Finished in white, the cable is intended for linking a motherboard or riser card to a graphics card or other PCIe x16 device where space, clearance, or layout require a flexible, low-profile connection. The design focuses on reliable data transfer at PCIe 3.0 signaling levels while offering a neat visual appearance suited to custom PC builds.

Advantages

The ribbon construction reduces cable bulk and improves airflow compared with conventional thick braided cables. At 0.2 m length the cable minimizes signal path while allowing flexible routing inside a case. Compatibility with PCI-e 3.0 x16 signaling ensures the cable supports bandwidth and protocols defined for that generation. A white finish helps integrate the cable visually with light-themed builds or contrast with darker interiors.

Suitable for

• Connecting a motherboard to a PCIe x16 graphics card via a riser setup
• Compact or small-form-factor PC cases where space is limited
• Custom builds where cable aesthetics and tidy routing are important
• Test benches and development systems requiring short, flexible PCIe interconnects

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express 3.0 x16 (male–female)
• Length: 0.2 m
• Form factor: flat ribbon cable
• Connector types: PCIe x16 male and female
• Colour: white

How to use

Power down the system and disconnect mains power before installing the ribbon cable. Align the male and female PCIe x16 connectors with their respective slots on the motherboard, riser, or expansion card and gently seat each connector until it is fully engaged. Use cable routing channels or tie points inside the case to secure the ribbon and avoid sharp bends that could stress the conductors. Reconnect power and verify that the connected device is detected in the system firmware or operating system.

Usage recommendations

To maintain signal integrity, avoid extreme bending and keep the cable length as short as practical; ensure connectors are fully seated and secured to prevent disconnection during system movement. Use the ribbon cable in systems and configurations that conform to PCIe 3.0 specifications and avoid exposing the cable to liquids, high temperatures, or mechanical abrasion.
