Introduction

EPCIEX8D01E is an external PCIe x8 to PCIe x8 Slot Docking Enclosure. The EPCIEX8D01E 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 EPCIEX8D01E 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, a robust Docking Enclosure (EPCIEX8D01E), and a PCIe Cable. The PCIe Cable Adapter Card fits into a PCIe slot ( x8 or x16) in the host computer and communicates to PCIe x8 device installed in the docking station.
