I'm not sure about the left-hand version, but I tried to use this product in a 1U server and it failed miserably. All of the dimensions were incorrect for the situation.

This is an excellent low-cost option. The PCB geometry interferes with the motherboard locking mechanism, so the profile is 90 degrees in the build. As a result, it can't be fully seated in the slot, which I wasn't willing to risk.
It's too short: the riser is about 6mm too short, preventing any card from mounting correctly or clearing adjacent slots, if any exist. In a 1U chassis, this isn't a problem with clearance - They had plenty of room to climb up, but the riser itself doesn't "rise" high enough to accommodate any sort of card installation.
This is fantastic. However. It's simply effective. This is fantastic. However, keep in mind that the latch tab on the male end of the connector will not fit in the latches on most female connectors, so you won't be able to latch the connector securely in many cases. However, because that section of the PCB contains nothing, you can cut the profile of the latch tab further back on the PCB to fit your connector if you're willing to do so. If you want to do this, make sure to use a fine blade and a fast cut rate, or a fine abrasive to gradually remove the material. I used small offcuts of pine to sandwich the board, then used a coping saw to remove the majority of the material, followed by a Dremel tool and a 440 grit hand sand to remove any tool marks. This method eliminates the possibility of de- When cutting the PCB, make sure it's properly layered. Once you've achieved the desired shape, apply a thin layer of CA glue to the exposed cut to provide stability to the PCB's exposed edge, and let it dry completely.
The lack of a standard lock tail leads me to believe that this is a clone of a server part; as another reviewer points out, the pcb fouls the locking tab on most PCIe slots; If you use this, however, you're already creating something unique. I used it in a proprietary SFF chassis with a straight riser cable, and simply popped the slider off the cable. To replace the PCI backplane in the riser cage, I needed a 90 degree riser with the opposite chirality of a standard riser. Using a straight cable made it easier to secure everything to the cage and keep the GFX card from flopping around. With an RX 550 connected to it, it worked perfectly. br>br>This part does exactly what it says it will, but double-check the pictures to make sure it's the right part for you.
It's not the product's fault, but it sits backwards in a standard PC case, and I needed it to stand upright. 270 degree risers don't seem to exist, at least not that I could find during my brief search. Because it's flexible, I went with a 1x to 16x riser used by miners. My plan was to conceal my raid card behind my new vertical mount graphics card bracket. It is, however, an excellent product.
This was purchased with the intention of adapting a network card to a PCIe slot in a 1U rack mount server. This item appears to be well constructed and fits snugly into the PCIe slot. Unfortunately, it is not long enough to hold the NIC above the motherboard, nor does it have enough overhang to accommodate a standard card slot. There would have been enough room between the NIC and the far side of the case for the card to hang in mid-air. I'll toss it in the trash and hope to find another use for it in the future.
It did exactly what I needed it to do, but I wish it had been black because the color is an eyesore.
