Lian-Li PCIe 5.0 X16 Riser cable

The Lian Li PCIe 5.0 X16 riser cable in black is a case accessory designed for modern computer builds that require flexible component placement. This riser cable enables vertical GPU mounting or alternative positioning of PCIe 5.0 compatible graphics cards and expansion cards, addressing space constraints and improving airflow within the chassis. It features a 16-lane PCI Express 5.0 interface, supporting the high bandwidth requirements of current-generation graphics cards with data transfer rates up to 128 GB/s per direction.

The cable construction utilizes premium materials with double-shielded wiring to minimize signal interference and ensure stable performance, even under sustained loads. With a length typically ranging from 200 mm to 300 mm depending on specific model variations, it accommodates various case sizes while maintaining signal integrity. The black sleeving provides both aesthetic appeal and additional protection against abrasion.

The connector ends feature reinforced mounting points for secure installation, and the flexible design allows for routing through tight spaces without compromising the connection. This accessory is particularly useful for showcasing GPU designs through tempered glass side panels or for improving thermal management by creating distance between heat-generating components. It maintains backward compatibility with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 devices, though maximum bandwidth will be limited by the lowest specification in the chain.

The product represents a practical solution for custom PC builders seeking to optimize their system layout while maintaining the full performance capabilities of high-end components. Proper installation requires a compatible case with vertical mounting brackets or adequate space for custom mounting solutions. Always verify case compatibility and ensure proper support for the weight of installed components when using vertical mounting configurations.
