For the record, I've had success with this cable on X-Gene:
http://www.amazon.com/PCI-E-Riser-Flexible-Ribbon-Extension/dp/B00H8VVD00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
But it's hit or miss. The only public platform where I've been reliably
able to use an extender cable so far is AMD Seattle. On that platform,
the PCIe IP is so rock solid that I can talk to very funky PCIe IP I've
implemented myself in a FPGA (and I can see link quality is fine too).
There's one other non-public platform so far where PCIe extenders work
without a single hitch as well, and a number where more work is needed.
