ESCONDIDO, Calif., March 29, 2007 – One Stop Systems, a global
provider in industrial-grade computing systems and components, today
announced the release of its PCI Express (PCIe) x4 Express Card, enabling
laptops to operate with high-speed expansion capabilities at 2.5 Gbps
to a x4 downstream device including an expansion chassis or storage
system. The PCIe x4 cable downlink connects to all One Stop Systems’ expansion
chassis for additional add-in board capacity. The Express Card connects
to a downstream device through a PCIe x4 cable.
“Our PCIe x4 Express Card provides greater functionality on
a laptop, enabling high-speed link across a cable to a x4 device,” said
Steve Cooper, President of One Stop Systems.
Key features of
the PCIe x4 Express Card include LVPECL Spread Spectrum reference clock
buffer outputs, electrical isolation at cable connector, low power
and a powered cable connector for cables requiring active equalization
for additional distance. The Express Card does not require software
drivers and supports up to 7-meter passive and 25-meter active cables
based on the PCIe Cable standard.
One Stop Systems’ PCIe x4 Express
Card is an industry first as other standard Express Cards only allow
connection to the x1 PCIe cable. The PCIe x4 Express Card automatically
downshifts to the x1 EC standard.
The PCIe x4 Express Card (Part #:
OSS-PCIe-HIB2-EC-x4) lists for $496 and is available immediately.
PCIe
Expansion System
One Stop Systems’ PCIe expansion systems are designed to extend
the PCIe bus from a host system to additional PCIe, PCI, PCI-X, PXI
or CompactPCI expansion slots. The 1U PCIe switch provides further
expansion to multiple chassis. One Stop Systems’ expansion systems
are available in numerous varieties of backplanes and enclosures.
