Features
- PE4L-EC2C allows user to test PCI Express Add-in-Card on the ExpressCard slot
- PE4L-PM3N allows user to test PCI Express Add-in-Card on the PCI Express mini card slot.
- PE4L-HP1A allows engineer to extend PCIe 1x add-on card to test.
Notice:
- PE4L is PCIe 1x bandwidth limit passive adapter in compliance with Expresscard and mPCIe specification.
- PE4L design for engineering test. NOT for home or office use.
- Basically, PCIe add-on card designed for desktop. We can’t guarantee it compatibility with your laptop. Depends on OS version, notebook’s BIOS, device driver,
- Almost PCIe 16x video card can’t get enough memory resource are allocated. Can’t work in your laptop.
