The GEPX4-PCIE4XE301 is 4-port 10/100/1000M Ethernet (POE+) to PCI Express x4 Gen 2 Host Card.
GEPX4-PCIE4XE301 is designed with Two key components.
- 6-Port / 8-Lane PCI Express Packet Switch (Configured as upstream PCIe x4 to four downstream PCIe x1).
- Four 10/100/1000M Ethernet to PCI Express x1 Host Controllers.
Utilizing the standard PCI Express Switch, the 6-Port / 8-Lane PCI Express Packet Switch provides the most efficient fan-out solution for integrating four 10/100/1000M Ethernet to PCI Express Single Chip Host controllers into a small board design. Each 10/100/1000M Ethernet to PCI Express Single Chip Host controller takes advantages of 4-lane PCI Express bus in both directions and is fully compliant with PCI Express Base specification r1.1. This solution provides full PCI Express and 10/100/1000M Ethernet functionality and performance.
