Applications

PCIE Server NIC card Application

  • PCI-E NIC Cards provide redundant connectivity to ensure an uninterrupted network connection.

  • PCI-E NIC Cards are ideal for VM environments with multiple operating systems, requiring shared or dedicated NICs.

  • They are specially designed for desktop PC clients, servers, and workstations with few PCI Express slots available.

PCIe and Optical Applications

 

The PCI Express (PCIe) bus serves as a high-speed serial IO designed to provide connections between peripherals (graphics cards, memory/disk drives, external IO cards) and the Central Processing Unit (CPU). PCIe is implemented as a point-to-point connection using a pair of differential electrical interconnects (Tx/Rx) connecting two end point devices. PCIe bandwidth can be scaled by adding multiple lanes. The overall bandwidth can be increased by combining channels into x4, x8, x16, and x32 lane links.

 

PCIe peripherals typically take the form of expansion cards and are connected to the motherboard interface via slot connectors. Thus, the most common usage for PCIe is to make connections between chips inside-the-box where both the central processor and peripherals are co-located. PCIe is the dominant interconnect for CPU-based applications within desktop PCs, workstations as well as large, high-end servers.

A number of applications exist where PCIe may be used to connect a central processor with devices outside the box. As it is, even at 2.5 Gb/s (Gen1) and 5Gb/s (Gen2), physical connections are limited to a few meters in length using the available copper cables. Physical link distances decrease at higher data rates, and as such, operation at 8.0Gb/s PCIe Gen3 will further reduce the usable distance of copper cables. 

 

Thus, users have expressed interest in optical solutions for PCIe applications requiring longer distances. Optical fiber based solutions allow connections over a much longer distance and are capable of providing better bit error rate performance, better immunity to electromagnetic interference and are thinner & lighter allowing for easier placement and routing.

 

Using optical solutions, nearly anything that is connected using PCIe today can now be connected remotely. This allows users to leverage the ubiquity of PCIe for many applications such as memory/disk system interconnects, high-end audio/video applications, high performance computing and multi-chassis system interconnects.
