Divert the M.2 interface of the ROCK 4 by mounting this extension board

Works with all ROCK Models 4A / 4B /4B+ 

Must be used with Rock 4 heat sink (or ecoPI PRO cases) for proper mount together with Rock 4

The new M.2 Extension board v1.6 was improved based on the community feedback.

Improvements:

Gold plated connectors for stable data transmission

In the previous version the connectors where simple FPC connectors. They could easy break, and the ribbon cable could be mounted wrong. The connectors do not only avoid the cable to be plugged in wrongly, it also has a lock to avoid displacement of the connector.

Improved Ribbon cable with mounted gold plated connectors on both sides 

The previous ribbon cable was always a subject to discussions. People complained that the cable was not providing stable data transmission, because the connection via FPC connector was not precise and well enough. They also said interference could happen because no ground lines where used for isolation inside of the ribbon cable.

Both issues have been addressed. Not only does the cable now have gold plated connectors on both sides, the layout also takes very much care about the shielding between the high speed data lines. Smart arrangement makes sure that no data is lost. The connectors do have additional springs to ensure a stable connection even when the board is moved.

The only disadvantage now is the fact, that the cable length can not easily be adjusted with replacement cables anymore. 

Redesigned interface board to the M.2 connector of Rock 4

One of the sometimes complicated things was mounting the small interface board because it interfered a bit when the eMMC module on the bottom side of the board was mounted. I did not have any negative effects, though many thought it was not possible to mount them together.

The newley updated M.2 extension board with its updated features and specs will make the PCIe experience on your Rock Pi 4 leading edge!

Purchasing & Delivery

You may be liable for import duties, sales tax, or customs processing fees. It's your responsibility to ensure you're fully aware of the local requirements for importing goods from China to your location. We cannot offer any refunds due to unexpected charges applied locally. We are required to include a commercial invoice with all shipments.

EU SHIPMENTS JULY 1st 2021

Since July 1st, 2020 EU buyers are obliged to pay local VAT on all orders shipped. The previously VAT free value of up to €22 has been cancelled. Instead there is a new regulation for goods imported to the EU for values up to €150. (i.e. not subject to excise duties)

Because ALLNET China is not able to pre-collect the related VAT on the checkout yet, you will be contacted directly when the parcel arrives in your country and asked to pay the outstanding amount.

After that the parcel will be delivered to you like before. We work on a solution to make this more convenient for you and hope to present it to you soon.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! If the requested payments from the EU tax authorities are not balanced, the parcels will be either destroyed or returned to us. In this case we unfortunately can not refund both shipment cost and product price. The return process creates high cost on administration, shipment and re-import which have to be covered.
