Slot Expander DeLOCK 41839

The DeLOCK 41839 Slot Expander is a PCI Express x1 riser solution designed for low-height computer cases, such as 19-inch rackmount chassis with 1U or 2U heights. It uses a short flexible cable to allow horizontal, space-saving installation of a PCIe x1 interface card when vertical mounting is not possible.

Advantages

The flexible riser cable provides a compact mounting option for PCI Express x1 cards in cramped enclosures. Its approximately 13 cm cable length permits repositioning of the card to a horizontal orientation, enabling compatibility with 1U and 2U 19-inch rack cases. The module supports left-side insertion and maintains a standard PCIe x1 electrical connection.

Suitable for

• 19-inch rackmount chassis with 1U height
• 19-inch rackmount chassis with 2U height
• Compact desktop cases with limited internal height

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express x1
• Designed for: 48.3 cm (19 inch) cases, 1U and 2U
• Cable length: approximately 13 cm (flexible cable)
• Connector orientation: left insertion

How to use

Install the DeLOCK 41839 by inserting the PCIe x1 connector into the motherboard slot, then position the flexible cable so the card can be mounted horizontally in the available space. Secure the expansion card in the case according to your chassis’ mounting points, ensuring the cable is routed without sharp bends. Verify the card is seated firmly and power on the system to confirm device recognition.

Usage recommendations

Use this riser in racks and small enclosures where vertical card installation is not possible. Avoid excessive bending or twisting of the flexible cable and ensure adequate airflow around the installed card.
