PCIe Switch

One upstream x4 port fans out to seven x4 downstream ports, supporting PCIe devices or expansion systems.

Part Number: OSS-PCIe-1U-SW-x4

Product Features

  • One x4 PCIe uplink to the host chassis
  • Seven x4 PCIe downlinks to expansion chassis or PCIe devices
  • Adjustable mounting positions for rack ears
  • Slim 1U design
  • LED display indicating link status for each connection
  • Power input and LED displays on front & rear panels

The 8-port MAX Express (MAXe) PCI Express (PCIe) Switch occupies an economical 1U of rack space. As implemented in the MAXe Cabled Bus Expansion System, the non-blocking switch extends the capability of a single PCIe host bus to over 100 add-in boards.

With one x4 uplink and seven x4 downlinks, the 1U Switch extends the add-in card bus of the host system to multiple expansion enclosures with low latency and low power. Adjustable rack ear mounting on the 1U Switch allows the PCIe cables to face the front or rear of the rack. LED displays and power input can also be viewed from the front and rear.
