EP7102 PCIe 5.0 ReDriver kit
The Innocard EP7102 kit converts an M.2 PCIe 5.0 slot to dual MCIO 38P connectors and includes a 100cm MCIO 38P to U.3 cable. A built-in ReDriver extends 32GT/s differential signals while a clock buffer supports longer trace lengths. Integrated load switching and voltage-level translation handle hot-plug control and sideband signals.
System integrators linking U.3 devices to M.2 hosts
This kit suits builders who need to route PCIe 5.0 from an M.2 slot to U.3 drive bays using standard MCIO 38P cabling. It is not for users without an M.2 PCIe 5.0 host connector or those requiring a direct U.2 or U.3 backplane connection without the intermediate MCIO step.
Sustained 32GT/s operation with signal integrity
The on-board ReDriver and 100MHz clock buffer maintain link stability over the 100cm cable run under continuous load. SMBus repeater and PERST# translation keep management paths active during extended transfers. Green and red LEDs confirm 3.3V rail readiness and PERST# status throughout operation.

Questions about this item
Does my motherboard need an MCIO 38-pin port to use this Innocard EP7102 kit?
Yes, the adapter converts an MCIO 38P connector (SFF-TA-1016) to an M.2 PCIe 5.0 slot, so the host must provide that MCIO 38P interface.
Can I keep my existing PCIe 4.0 U.3 drive and connect it with the included 100 cm cable?
The cable is built to the PCIe 5.0 32 GT/s specification with a ReDriver and clock buffer, so it will also carry PCIe 4.0 signals to a U.3 device.
How do the two LEDs on the EP7102 adapter confirm the link is up?
LED1 green on means 3.3 V power is ready; LED2 red changing from on to off means the PERST# reset signal has de-asserted normally.
