Host Cable Adapter expands throughput over PCIe cable.

Press Release Summary:



Installed on CPU board in host system, XMC x8 Gen 2 Host Cable Adapter enables data transfers to 40 Gb/s. PCIe x8 cable inserted into cable connector on face of XMC expands PCIe bus to PCIe downstream device or expansion chassis. XMC x8 cable connector on bezel and PCIe x8 edge connector are routed directly to Pericom 5804 redrivers. Since adapter is based on redriver technology, there are no latency obstacles to throughput.



Original Press Release:



One Stop Systems Introduces the First XMC (PCI Express Mezzanine Card) x8 Gen 2 Host Cable Adapter



o Installs in XMC slot of CPU board or carrier board

o Increases data transfers to 40 Gb/s

o No additional software required

ESCONDIDO, Calif., January 5, 2009 - One Stop Systems (OSS), a global provider of industrial-grade computing systems and components, today introduces the first XMC x8 Gen 2 host cable adapter, enabling high-speed expansion over a PCIe cable. The XMC is the PCI Express version of the PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) and is installed on a CPU board in a host system. A PCIe x8 cable inserted into the cable connector on the face of the XMC expands the PCIe bus to a PCIe downstream device or expansion chassis. Gen 2 speeds provide greater bandwidth for applications demanding high-speed throughput such as video, imaging and audio devices and requires no additional software or drivers to operate.

The short XMC form factor makes it easy to install in any carrier with an XMC connector. The XMC x8 cable connector on the bezel and the PCIe x8 edge connector are routed directly to the Pericom 5804 redrivers. Since the XMC x8 host cable adapter is based on redriver technology, there are no latency obstacles to throughput.

"OSS continues to lead the industry in PCIe technology by introducing another first of its kind PCIe cable adapter," said Steve Cooper, CEO. The XMC x8 provides the latest high-speed functionality in the XMC form factor. The XMC x8 paves the way for OSS to provide custom XMCs to our OEM customers for a variety of application needs. One Stop Systems is porting many of its Gen 1 cable adapters to Gen 2 as well as providing Gen 2 products in new form factors. The XMC x8 is an ideal solution for porting PCI Express from a VXS (VITA 41.4) or CPCIe CPU board to an external drive array or expansion chassis."

Pricing

The XMC x8 Gen 2 host cable adapter lists for USD$759 (P/N OSS-XMC-HIB25-x8) and is available immediately. OEM quantities can be quoted on request. Call toll-free at 1-877-GET-CPCI (438-2724) to order or to receive more information.
