Xgig MCIO 16-lane Interposer Module for PCI Express 5.0

The VIAVI Solutions Xgig® 16-lane MCIO/CopprLink™ Interposer for PCI Express® 5.0 is optimized for developing, debugging and performance tuning of MCIO/CopprLink™ devices used in server and storage equipment, data center switches and routers, and high performance computing applications.  This Interposer enables protocol analysis of communication between a 16-lane MCIO/CopprLink™ host port and an MCIO attached endpoint device. 

This MCIO Interposer uses high-speed linear signal redrivers to buffer system data signals ensuring a clean signal is delivered to both the Analyzer and devices-under-test (DUT) for accurate protocol capture and analysis.
