PCI Express Gen2 Link

PCI Express Gen2 Link Revolutionizes Connectivity

Magma's PCI Express x8 Gen2 is a bi-directional card that allows for the extension of a high speed serial link while ensuring high quality transmission over a cable.

Many advantages to such an approach with PCI Express Link
Two Link cards can be used to create a transparent inter-connect between a host computer and a downstream expansion system. As well as used as a link between a root and an end point device.
