PCIe x4 Gen2 Host

Description

PCIe x4 Gen2 Host – Cable Adapter (OSS-PCIe-HIB35-x4)

The PCIe x4 Gen2 Host PCIe cable adapter installs easily into a computer’s PCIe slot. A PCIe cable can then be plugged into the adapter to extend the PCIe bus from the motherboard to an external device, like an expansion enclosure or storage device. The PCIe x4 adapter has an 8-lane switch with built-in DMA controller and extends the PCIe bus at 20Gb/s with extremely low latency because there is no conversion software.

About PCI Express Interfaces

PCIe (PCI Express) is a high-speed internal interface that can be used to connect multiple servers and boards to a telecommunications server or to a computer system. The transmission technology is based on two differential pairs of lines, known as links or lanes, one of which is used to send data and the other to receive it. A total of up to 32 of these links can be bundled together to increase speed as much as possible. PCI Express offers significantly higher performance than Ethernet or USB and is ideal for time-critical applications that rely on high-speed I/O. Since no software installation is required, expansion is quick and easy, reliable and cost-effective.

Various expansions and designs

The most important PCIe expansion components include expansion cards, PCIe cable adapters and backplanes. These are available in a wide variety of designs, so that a suitable product can be found for every need and requirement. Cables with bandwidths from x1 to x16 and lengths from 1 m to 100 m enable high performance even on long transmission paths. Thanks to their high bandwidths, our PCIe x4 Gen2 Dual-Port cable adapters offer optimum conditions for use under a wide range of application requirements. The backplanes offered for PCI Express 1.0 to 3.0 with a choice of one to twenty slots are best suited for adding additional PCIe slots to existing systems.
