Xgig Slimline 8-lane Interposer Module for PCI Express 5.0
Interposer Module for PCI Express 5.0 Platform
The PCIe 5.0 8-lane Slimline Interposer enables debug and verification of new ICs, new system hardware designs, FPGA firmware, validation of system BIOS and software.
The VIAVI Solutions Xgig® 8-lane Slimline Interposer for PCI Express® 5.0 enables debug and verification of new ICs, new system hardware designs, FPGA firmware, validation of system BIOS and software—and supports manufacturing test. It provides connection between the VIAVI PCIe 5.0 Analyzer/Exerciser/Jammer platform and a system under test. This Interposer installs between an 8-lane Slimline host port and a Slimline attached endpoint device which are common in storage equipment applications where low-profile Slimline cables are routed internally between server components. It operates at the 32GTps, PCIe 5.0 rate, across up to 8-lanes (bi-directional).
