Physical interface with 8 lanes supporting PCIe 4.0 speeds (16 GT/s per lane).
Actual datalink width is x4, meaning only 4 lanes are actively used for data transmission.
Backward compatible with PCIe 3.0/2.0.
Description
PCIe x8 with ReTimer to SlimSAS 8i AIC is an add-in card (AIC) designed to bridge a high-speed PCIe x8 interface to a SlimSAS 8i connector, operating with a x4 PCIe 4.0 datalink width. The ReTimer ensures signal integrity and extends the signal reach over longer distances, reducing jitter and compensating for signal degradation. Micro SATA Cables PN # 2279
