EPCIEX4D01 is an external PCIe x4 to PCIe x8 (x4 mode) Slot Docking Enclosure. The EPCIEX4D01 expands PCI Express connectivity from your desktop computer, enabling seamless, high performance, and reliable control of remote PCIe device.
No additional software or drivers are needed – the remote devices operate as if they were directly installed in your computer.
Designed to overcome the limited PCIe connectivity of most desktop computers, the EPCIEX4D01 can be quickly and easily set up for multi-I/O, high throughput, or hazardous applications.
In particularly rugged environments, your desktop computer can be placed at a secure location up to 7 meters (for PCIe Gen 1.0) or 100 meters (with PCIe A.O.C) away. High performance and reliable communication is maintained with the well-shielded extension cable or A.O.C (Active Optical Cable), and the docking station is designed to withstand high or low temperatures, vibrations and shocks. In addition, the isolation between core components and docked PCIe devices eliminates any possible electromagnetic interference between them.
This Application includes a PCIe Cable Adapter Card (EPCIE4XRDCA01A or EP4X-PCIE4XG201 or DEP4X-PCIE8XG201 or DEP4X-PCIE8XG301 or EPCIE8XG4RDCA02) , a robust Docking Enclosure (EPCIEX4D01), and a PCIe Cable (Copper or A.O.C). The PCIe Cable Adapter Card fits into a PCIe slot (x4, x8 or x16) in the host computer and communicates to PCIe x4 device installed in the docking station.
