Product Type | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Adapter Module / Bus Interface | Adapter modules or bus interfaces are computer boards that translate the data from the PCIe bus to another bus, and vice versa. They are used to connect two non-compatible buses. | ||
Audio Card | Products are PCIe audio cards. | ||
Clock Generator | The board is a clock generator used in telecommunication systems. | ||
Counter Board | Products are PCIe card counters. | ||
Mass Storage Module | Mass storage modules are PCIe cards which are used to store data like a hard drive or floppy disk. | ||
Memory Module | Memory modules are PCIe boards that contain memory chips. | ||
Measurement Board | Measurement boards are PCIe cards that are designed to perform tests and measurements. | ||
Networking Module | Networking modules are network adapters for protocols such as Ethernet, Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Fibre Channel, etc. | ||
PCIe Bridge | PCIe bridges allow the connection of more than one PCIe module to a PCIe interface. | ||
PCIe Extender | PCIe extenders are board used to extend physically the PCIe bus outside of the host computer for the purpose of testing and system development. | ||
Power Supply | Products are power supplies completely contained in PCIe cards. | ||
RAID Controllers | Products are PCIe RAID controllers. | ||
Asynchronous Serial Module | Asynchronous serial communication modules provide one or more serial ports to a host computer using the asynchronous protocol. An asynchronous serial card interfaces the host with a PCIe bus and adds serial ports such as RS232, RS422, or RS485. | ||
Synchronous Serial Module | Synchronous serial communication modules provide one or more serial ports to a host computer using the synchronous protocol. | ||
Network Switch | This is a switch built in a board. | ||
Video / Graphics Card | Products are video PCIe cards. | ||
Other | Other unlisted PCIe product types. | ||

Form Factor: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
ExpressCard | ExpressCard is a PCIe card designed to replace the PC Card (PCMCIA). The ExpressCard was designed by the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) in order to provide a smaller, high-bandwidth, and less expensive card. | ||
Low-Profile Card | PCIe low-profile cards are compatible with small PCI cards (3.4" x 2.1"). The PCIe low-profile form factor supports x4, x8, and x16 implementation. | ||
Mini Card | The PCIe Mini Card replaces the PCI Mini Card, and is only half the size. | ||
PCIe Standard Card | PCIe standard cards are compatible with the full size PCI cards (3.4" x 2.1"). The PCIe standard form factor supports x4, x8, and x16 implementation. | ||
Server I/O Module (SIOM) | The Server I/O Module (SIOM) form factor is under development, but is expected to be ready with the second generation of PCIe technology. | ||
Other | Other, unlisted or proprietary form factors. | ||
