PCI Express Expansion Systems
Cyclone Microsystems' PCI Express Expansion System allows system developers to expand one host PCI Express slot to additional PCI Express Slots over an x8 (20 Gb/s) cable. This enables the coupling of cost-effective enterprise host PCs with a high bandwidth, peer-to-peer capable I/O subsystem. Cyclone Microsystem's PCI Express Expansion Systems are designed for embedded and industrial systems where the I/O requirements are greater than the limited slot capacity of a single server or enterprise PC.
Cyclone’s PCI Express Expansion System includes a host bus adapter, an expansion cable, and an expansion backplane mounted in an industrial 19-inch chassis. A one or three meter cable connects to a growing list of available PCI Express Expansion Systems.

Cyclone currently supports Expansion Systems with four, seven, eight, and fourteen PCI Express slots. The PCI Express Expansion Backplane supports a non-blocking switch fabric for superior peer-to-peer data flows.
PCI Express Expansion Series provides end-to-end CRC protection and Poison bit support to guarantee error free data transmission. Corrupted packets are automatically re-transmitted by the hardware with no software intervention.
Our PCI Express Expansion Systems are plug and play solutions that are Operating System agnostic and require no software drivers.
