Reversed PCIe x16 Riser Card
This iStarUSA DD-766R-C5-02 riser card redirects a PCIe x16 slot into a reversed orientation using a short ribbon cable. It is intended for server builders who need to reposition an expansion card inside a constrained chassis. The accessory carries RoHS compliance and was first listed by the manufacturer in 2016.
Slot 7 Reverse Mounting
The card plugs into motherboard slot 7 and extends the connection away from the board through a 5 cm ribbon cable. This layout frees vertical clearance above the slot so a full-height card can sit parallel to the motherboard instead of standing upright. No drive bays are occupied and no additional power connectors are required.
5 cm Ribbon Cable Included
The bundled 5 cm ribbon cable is the only accessory supplied and it determines the maximum offset between the motherboard slot and the target card. Its fixed length limits placement to tight spaces within the same enclosure section. No software, brackets or screws are provided with the riser.
