The EXLink MB409A5 adapter card is designed to connect PCIe Gen5 x8 slots with support for Lane Bifurcation to next generation MCIO 8i (SFF-TA-1016) connectivity. It offers a total bandwidth of up to 256 Gbps for high-speed NVMe signal transmission in demanding storage applications. By integrating a PCIe redriver and optimized signal conditioning, the MB409A5 enables system designers and integrators to flexibly deploy MCIO based NVMe solutions, even on platforms with longer traces or cable connections.
