External PCI Express connector systems

9 August 2006 Interconnection

External PCI Express is a new, multipurpose, hot-pluggable input/output (I/O) interface that is used across the computing industry - from mobile equipment through high-end servers as well as communication equipment. These connectors were designed to fit all popular mechanical architectures without special or custom versions.

Molex has designed technology that provides future scalability and flexibility by supporting Generation 1 PCIe data rates at 2,5 Gbps through Generation 2 bandwidths of 5,0 Gbps. The versatility of this technology allows for cabled-system extensions to external I/O subsystems, meeting the needs for specific applications which include:

* Split systems or disaggregate PCs, desktop 'consoles' that contain removable media drives, memory modules, I/O ports and audio jacks.

* I/O expansion to extend the I/O card capabilities of the main system for support of different form factors, including legacy systems for test and measurement and for instrumentation.

* Server expansion I/O to support conventional PCI Express add-in cards and express modules.

* Graphic subsystems (controller and memory) located external to the main system.
