PCI Express Connectivity Products

Advance PCI technology with the introduction of the PCI Express Card. The PCI Express is the new standard serial connectivity card in PCI technology and the successor for server- and client-system I/O interconnects. The PCI Express Card touts many advantages over the traditional PCI card including point-to-point link dedicated to each device, instead of PCI shared bus; lower latency in server architectures due to a more direct connection to the chip set; small connectors with easier implementation for system designers and advanced features via isochronous channels for guaranteed bandwidth delivery, advanced power management and hot swap support.

For low profile PC systems, Quatech also offers a complete line of low profile serial boards. Click here to review available configurations for these systems.

PCI Express cards are available in 2, 4 or 6 port serial card configurations and offer high-speed, serial I/O bus that maintains backward compatibility with PCI applications and drivers. The layered architecture supports existing PCI applications and drivers by maintaining compatibility with existing PCI model. Defined by high performance, scalable, serial bus, the PCI Express card is dedicated to the device while multiple PCI Express devices can be active without interfering with each other.

Quatech also offers 2 port parallel cards; 2 and 4 port serial/parallel I/O cards and PCI Express to ExpressCard converters.

As client system boards migrate from the PCI connector to the PCI Express connector, Quatech’s PCI Express cards maximize advanced features such as:

Advanced power management
Support for real-time data traffic
Hot plug and hot swap
Data integrity and error handling
