The EDH3-D4XE1X80R1 expands PCI Express connectivity from your desktop computer, enabling seamless, high performance, and reliable control of up to eight remote PCIe devices.

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 EDH3-D4XE1X80R1 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 away for PCIe Gen 1.0. High performance and reliable communication is maintained with the well-shielded extension 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.

The EDH3-D4XE1X80R1 includes a cable adapter card, a PCIe extension Board, and an extension cable. The cable adapter card fits into a PCIe x8 or x16 slot in the host computer and communicates with up to eight PCIe x1 devices installed in the docking station.
