Rated 5 out of 5

It just works!!

Want a new motherboard, but have an old PCI card that you can't, or don't want, to replace? Then this is for you. I have an RME sound card that is relatively expensive, and still works perfectly, so I have no desire to spend more money on a PCIe variant that would give me nothing over what I currently have. Bought this, plugged it in, and that was that. It works flawlessly. Beware of the cheap clones, though, there are many around. This adapter card is a bit pricey, but I did try the clones before buying this, and regretted it. Choppy, broken sound, basically useless. This is is the one to get!!

Really helpful for installing an older PCI device

I purchased this to install an older PCI modem (HiRO H50006) into a newer PCIE motherboard (ASUS B550F). After installing the adapter into the motherboard then installing the modem, the card worked on the first reboot. After testing I found all features worked without an issue. I did have to remove part of my modems faceplate so it would fit properly. This is a very well made adapter and it works quite well, would recommend.

Discover the seamless integration of legacy technology with modern systems using the PCI Express to PCI Adapter Card. This innovative device allows you to utilize low profile PCI expansion cards in a server or desktop motherboard PCI Express slot. Fully compliant with PCI Express Specification 1.0a and PCI Specification 2.2, this adapter card ensures reliable and efficient performance.

The adapter card connects through a PCIe 1x slot, providing a low profile PCI slot in its place. It includes a spare full-size bracket for PCI Express cards, making it versatile for use in larger desktop or server PCI Express slots. The unique bracket design adapts and secures the existing half-height or low profile bracket of the PCI Card, ensuring a secure and stable connection.

With a PCI Express base spec 1.0a compliance, this adapter card supports up to 250MBps of available bandwidth. It also includes an LP4 Power Connector for Universal Voltage PCI Cards (3.3V/5V), making it compatible with a wide range of devices. Compliant with PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge spec 1.0, this adapter card requires no driver or software installation, offering a plug-and-play solution.

This versatile adapter card converts PCIe to PCI or PCI-X, and its built-on LP4 power connector links the card to the computer power supply. This allows you to install universal voltage PCI cards (3.3V/5V), extending the usability of older or extra PCI Bus cards in newer PCIe capable systems.

Ideal for use with older PCI-based cards on new PCI Express-enabled computer systems, this adapter card also allows you to install a low profile/half-height PCI card into a full profile PCI Express system. This is particularly useful for industrial and legacy PCI cards that may be hard to find or too costly to replace.

The unique bracket design allows a low profile/half-height PCI card to work seamlessly in a PCI Express-based expansion slot. Backed by a 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support, this PCI Express to PCI Adapter Card offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for integrating older technology into modern systems.
