This vertical M. 2 2230 M-Key to OCuLink conversion adapter is a compact next-gen PCIe 4.0 high-speed expansion board exclusively customized for short-size 2230 NVMe M. 2 SSDs widely used in mini PCs, thin laptops and small-form-factor hosts. One end adopts standard M. 2 NGFF M-Key male gold finger to plug into mainboard 2230 M. 2 slot; the other end features vertical angled SFF-8612 OCuLink female port, which can match SFF-8611 external OCuLink cables to realize long-distance signal extension. The vertical raised connector design avoids cable bending dead angle in narrow internal space, greatly optimizing chassis wiring management.
Manufactured to PCIe 4.0 & NVMe 1.2 industrial standards, it delivers full x4 bandwidth without bandwidth throttling, perfectly supporting two core usage demands: External
eGPU expansion: Connect OCuLink eGPU docking station to add discrete high-performance graphics for thin laptops, suitable for 3D modeling, video rendering and gaming; U.
2 NVMe storage expansion: Matched with SFF-8611 to SFF-8639 cable to expand 2.5 -inch U. 2/U. 3 NVMe SSD, used as high-speed cache for mini servers and workstations. High-purity copper circuit and double-layer shielding structure effectively isolate electromagnetic interference between internal components, ensuring stable low-latency continuous operation. Compact bare board design saves chassis installation space, no extra metal bracket required for mini device assembly.
