slots. The expansion adapter can connect the expansion chassis to the PC over a distance of up to 12m.
Features
-
Using high-speed serial transfer (2.5 Gbps), capable of extending the PCI bus to up to 12m.
-
PCI-bus compatible, eliminating the need for changing PCI bus board software.
-
Using a, noise-immune, STP-category, 5e cable easy to wire and install.
-
Capable of expand the PCI bus (5V/32-bit, 33 MHz) from a single PCI bus slot in the PC.
-
Expansion chassis free of choice according to the number of PCI bus slots and the board size required.
-
Power supply controllable in response to the turning on/off of the PC's power supply.
