eBox 4 Product Data
Efficient. Flexible. Built for Expansion.
The eBox 4 expansion solution offers a cost-effective, highly configurable platform for adding PCIe 1.0 to 5.0 I/O devices to a host system. The eBox expansion system can be located up to 200 meters from the host, and I/O devices perform as if they were installed in the host system.
PCIe 5.0 Passive Backplanes
Dolphin offers 2 slot x16, 3 slot x8 and a 5 slot x4 passive expansion backplanes. Single or multiple passive backplanes (each with their own Dolphin uplink adapter) can be configured to meet the unique demands of your application.
The backplanes support any combination of PCIe 1.0 to 5.0 - limited by the maximum speed of the installed uplink adapter.
PCIe 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 Uplink Adapters
Customers can specify the uplink card meeting the performance and distance requirements - please check out the list of Compliant Adapter Cards
