KALEA-INFORMATIQUE PCIe 4.0 Switch Type Controller Card with 10 Ports SFF-8654 8i for 5 Port Gen4 x16 Replication for GPU, Industrial Applications

10-port NVMe PCIe 4.0 x16 switch card based on the Broadcom PEX88096 controller. With its own PCIe switch function, it supports multiple PCIe channel distribution modes, including 20×(x4), 10×(x8) or 5×(x16). IMPORTANT: The configuration of 20 ports in (x4) OR 10 ports in (x8) OR 5 ports in (x16) is not adaptive, it is defined at the production of the card. The model here proposed is configured in 5 ports (x16), it allows by eexmple to connect 5 graphics cards.

With a transfer rate of up to 256Gbps, this card can directly connect up to 20 U.2 NVMe SSDs. It is specifically designed for high-end applications such as SSD performance testing and GPU expansion testing, while providing enterprise-grade NVMe connectivity for a wide range of standard x86 servers and workstations.

Designed as a high-capacity expansion solution for flash servers, this card features ultra-high bandwidth, low latency PCIe 4.0 connectivity, ensuring accurate and real-time test data and helping to accelerate product development and validation cycles.

Technical specifications: PCI Express 4.0 x16 bus. Broadcom PEX88096 Controller Switch card that works according to 20 x PCIe 4.0 X4 mode.

Hardware adapter independent of the operating system, compatible with any Windows, Mac, Linux system etc. Operating temperature 0°C to 55°C. Power consumption min/max: 20.532W/23.592W. PCB dimensions 111 × 267 × 20 mm.

NOTE: It is not possible to choose the channel distribution yourself into 20 ports (x4), 10 ports (x8) or 5 ports (x16). This is done at the production of the card: you will choose one mode from the 3 proposed and this will be final and not reversible without returning the card to the factory. Our stock cards are currently in 20 ports (x4), please contact us if you would like a different distribution.
