Introducing the PCIe x16 Gen4 with ReDriver to SlimSAS 8i Dual Port AIC, the perfect solution for expanding your system's connectivity capabilities. This device features a built-in SFF-8654 8i connector with a pin-out defined by SFF-9402 Rev1.1, making it a reliable and efficient solution for your data transfer needs. The built-in ReDriver extends the PCIe 4.0, 16GT/s 16 lanes differential pair signals data link width, allowing for faster data transfer speeds. With the ability to bifurcate the 16 lanes into four x4 links, this AIC supports different system topologies, making it versatile and suitable for various applications. This AIC also features a built-in PCIe 100MHz Clock buffer to drive longer trace and cable lengths, ensuring that the data transfer is stable and reliable. The 4-Channel SMBus Switch with Reset Function and the built-in PERST# Bus Buffer, WAKE# Bus Buffer, CLKREQ# Bus Buffer, and PWRBRK# Bus Buffer can be used over longer trace lengths and longer cable lengths, making it a versatile solution for your system. The D1 Green LED on the device indicates when the AIC is ready, ensuring that you have a clear and concise understanding of the device's status. This AIC is compliant with the PCI Express Base Specification Rev 4.0 and PCIe_CEM_SPEC_R4_V1_0_08072019_NCB, making it a high-quality solution for your data transfer needs. The device is also compliant with the SFF-8654 Specification Version 1.2 and supports SSD_Form_Factor_Version1_a, making it an ideal solution for your system's storage needs. This AIC is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows 7, Windows 8 & 8.1, Windows 10, and UEFI 2.3.1 or later. This AIC can be used with Micro SATA Cables PN#SLM-1778-1M for the PCIe Gen 4 16GT/s SlimSAS 8-Lane (SFF-8654 8i) Cable 1 Meter and PN#SLM-1737-M2 for the SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) to M.2 Dual Ports for PCIe 4.0 x8 Bifurcated. Additionally, the device can also be used with Micro SATA Cables PN # SLM-1773-8I.
