PCIe Flex Cable for NVMe Base and Raspberry Pi 5

by Pimoroni

These cables give you a variety of options for connecting and placing your NVMe Base or NVMe Base Duo.

They have a 'one way' design with 16 pads at the Raspberry Pi 5 end and 18 pins at the NVMe Base end to prevent incorrect installation.

They are designed for PCIe Gen 3 speeds and support Gen 2 perfectly fine also.

The 35mm PCIe Pipe is the standard cable that ships with NVMe Base for a compact install.

The 50mm PCIe Pipe adds some length, while remaining in-spec so you can mount your NVMe Base more comfortably around an existing case. It allows for a wider range of mechanical setups and might also be handy if you want to mount your Base on top/alongside your RPi 5.

The straight 33mm PCIe Flex cable is the standard one that comes with NVME Base Duo.

The straight 49mm PCIe Flex cable is an extended cable for use with NVME Base Duo, giving you additional mounting options whilst still remaining within spec.
