They can additionally be installed into vertical brackets to function similarly to a riser card, but with further flexibility. They are also used in small-form-factor PC's to allow for a GPU to be positioned behind a computer motherboard. 102:) and better materials, which allows further distances of data transmission and greater orientation flexibility than traditional riser cards. These cables use a Riser Card PCB and an edge connector on each side of the cable, with a 141:
