Hi All,
Question:
Does anyone know of a cable extension/adapter from a NGFF or M2 slot that takes the Apple Airport card away from the motherboard, so it can be fitted in a part of your laptop where there is more space?
Problem:
I've successfully fitted a NGFF adapter in my Thinkpad X270 to run native WIFI and Bluetooth:
and am running an Apple BCM943224PCIEBT2 Airport Card in the slot:
But the card is VERY close to the docking connector and is too high from the motherboard to close the bottom of the case cleanly.
So, I've cut down the Airport adapter and some of the plastic fittings in the bottom of the laptop case so it closes without bulging:
But even with this, the Airport Card just touches the plastic underside of the case and makes everything nice and hot.
I have seen NGFF to Mini PCI-E extensions/adapters available online:
but not a cable that just extends NGFF A+E connectors so I can fit an Airport card away from the motherboard.
Has anyone ever seen something like this?
