The PEA 3100 provides PCI Express External Cabling operation over 7 (maximal) meters cable. The active circuitry optimize the signal quality at the physical end of the cable.
The PEA 3100 supports PCI Express GEN1 and GEN2 and has provision for up-coming GEN3. A local non volatile CPLD manages the I2C configuration sequence for the PCIe Re- Driver from the DIP switches selection.The DIP switches select the mode of operation, according to the PCI Express cable length and the GEN1/GEN2 mode.
