Dual 2.5G Router HAT "IPEX" connector - compatible with ROCK 4?

I am interested in Radxa’s new dual 2.5G networking / PCI-E switch HAT. The “IPEX” connector on the 2.5G HAT looks very similar to the one on the Rock 4’s M.2 PCI-E expansion board - I would like to be able to use the router HAT with my Rock 4B+ boards, if possible.

I would like to know if they are actually the same pin-out - if the ROCK 4 series will be compatible with the HAT if the M.2 to “IPEX” cable from the Rock 4 M.2 expansion board is used. If it is compatible, will it support the full 2x PCI-E lanes that the ASM2806 chip can use, or is only 1x PCI-E lane routed to the ASM2806 on the HAT’s PCB?

Software support is a secondary concern, I would just like to know if they are electrically compatible, since there is no schematic available for either product for me to easily confirm myself.

Yes, the IPEX Pinout of the 2.5G router HAT is the same as the M.2 extension board, you can have PCIe x2 on the IPEX connector. We’ve tested the compatibility with ROCK 4 series, it works without any issues.
