PCI Express Expansion Product Family Extends I/O Capability

Written by Will Shirley | Jan 8, 2018 3:17:25 PM

Trenton's family of PCI Express Expansion products deliver a simplified yet high-speed method of securely adding system I/O cards to an existing host server. These new products provide a x16 PCIe link from your host server to any of Trenton's PCIe Expansion chassis. Industry standard PICMG 1.3 backplanes are used in the PCIe Expansion chassis to offer maximum inter-operability and the widest selection of PCI Express, PCI-X and PCI I/O option card support available today.

Key Features of Trenton's x16 PCIe Expansion Products:

  • Your choice of 3U, 4U and 5U rackmount expansion chassis
  • Expansion solutions plug-n-play with existing host servers
  • Wide choice of industry standard PICMG 1.3 backplanes
  • High-speed / high-bandwidth x16 PCIe link to server
  • Maximum x16 PCI Express signal integrity
  • Made In USA / 5-year factory warranty
"Trenton's PED8044 target card employs the latest x16 PCI Express switch technology to ensure low data packet delivery latencies and end-to-end data protection, said Brad Trent, Director of Engineering at Trenton Systems. "Likewise the x16 PCIe Gen2 link re-drivers employed on the PEU8039 host card ensures maximum x16 PCIe signal integrity over the one or three meter cable length between the host server and the PCIe expansion chassis."
