PCIe x8 Gen5 with ReDriver to MCIO 38P Dual Port AIC

GEN 5 PCIe x8: PCI Express Gen 5 (PCIe 5.0): This is the 5th generation of PCI Express technology, designed for high-speed data transfer between components like processors, storage devices, and network cards. PCIe Gen 5 provides up to 32 GT/s (gigatransfers per second), which translates to a maximum theoretical data bandwidth of 64 GB/s (gigabytes per second) when used in x16 configuration, and 32 GB/s for an x8 configuration. x8 Configuration: This means the card uses 8 PCIe lanes, allowing for faster data throughput compared to x4 or x1 configurations. It is commonly used for high-performance network adapters, storage controllers, and GPUs. 2. MCIO 38P: MCIO (Multi-Chip I/O): MCIO refers to the Multi-Chip Input/Output connector system, which is used for high-speed communication between chips or components. The 38-pin connector is typically designed to handle multiple data signals and connections, providing robust performance for high-throughput applications. 38P: This likely refers to a 38-pin connector used for the card’s data interfaces. This would be a proprietary or specialized connector, commonly seen in advanced data center solutions, offering reliable, high-bandwidth connections between the add-in card and other system components (e.g., storage systems, high-speed network equipment). 3. Dual Port: Dual-Port: This feature indicates that the AIC (Add-in Card) has two independent ports, which can be used for redundancy, load balancing, or increased throughput. It is particularly valuable in enterprise settings such as data centers, where multiple connections are needed for fault tolerance and optimized network performance. This could be used for dual-port networking interfaces, enabling the device to be connected to two separate networks or providing failover capabilities if one connection goes down. 4. AIC (Add-in Card): Add-in Card: This refers to a hardware component that is inserted into an available PCIe slot on a motherboard. The AIC is used to expand system functionality, whether for networking, storage, or other purposes. The GEN 5 PCIe x8 interface ensures high data throughput for the AIC, allowing the card to handle large amounts of data with minimal latency, which is important for applications like high-speed networking or storage controllers.
