• Active (with Gen 2 Redriver) PCIe x8 Gen2 Cable Adapter
• Two 4-Lane External PCIe Cable Connectors (0.8mm pitch 38pin iPass™)
• 4-Lane External PCIe Application: Single Cable
• 8-Lane External PCIe Application: Two Cables
• Up to 40Gbps 8-Lane PCIe® 2.0 Serial ReDriverTM
• I2C Configuration Controls (3.3V tolerant)

EPCIE8XRDCA01-G2 is External PCI Express x8 (with Gen 2 Redriver) Cable Adapter Card, it requires no additional software or drivers to operate.

Designed to overcome the limited PCIe connectivity of most desktop computers, the EPCIE8XRDCA01-G2 can be quickly and easily set up for external expansion.

It provides programmable equalization, amplification, and de-emphasis by using 8 select bits, to optimize performance over a variety of physical mediums by reducing Inter-symbol interface. The integrated equalization circuitry provides flexibility with signal integrity of the PCI Express signal before the Redriver, whereas the integrated de-emphasis circuitry provides flexibility with signal integrity of the PCI Express signal after the Redriver.

EPCIE8XRDCA01 can be quickly and easily set up for external expansion.
