Extension cable for PCIe

Hi, I have a Arria II GX dev kit and want to use the PCIe interface. I am planning to connect it using an extension cable instead of connecting it directly on the mother board. Any suggestions...

I have used PE-FLEX from http://www.adexelec.com - they have 1, 4, 8, and 16 lane versions, in lengths up to 15 inches (~38cm). I think we have ordered even longer 1 lane cables.

There are more robust solutions that may support longer lengths, but will probably cost more.
