I want to use PCI-E to USB cable in order to connect a card to a laptop ( because I don't want to buy dedicated PC for mining  )... So

Is this a product that can do this ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/iXium%C2%AE-Extender-Litecoin-Dogecoin-Compatible/dp/B00J3X88VS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1506122263&sr=8-2&keywords=amd+mining

Are there any potential problems with the miner software or when connecting to the mining pools, given that my setup will use this PCI-E to USB cable. I.e does the card still appear to the mining software as if it is connected to the motherboard ?
