Description

Overview

The Sun Microsystems PCI Express x8 / XAXAUI Riser (part number 541-2128) is a high-performance expansion solution that bridges a standard PCIe x8 slot to an external XAUA I interface. Designed for demanding data center and networking environments, this riser enables the integration of multiple XAUAI capable network processors, Fibre Channel adapters or high speed Ethernet modules while preserving full PCI Express bandwidth.

Key Features

PCIe x8 host interface delivering up to 8 GB/s bi-directional throughput
XAUI (10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface) support for four lanes of 10 Gbps each
Low latency signal routing with controlled impedance traces
Robust gold plated connectors for reliable mating and long term durability
Compact form factor that fits in standard server chassis without compromising airflow
Compatible with Sun Microsystems servers and workstations that support PCIe x8 slots

Technical Specifications

Host bus: PCI Express Generation 1 (compatible with Gen2 and Gen3 devices)
Lane configuration: x8 (8 lanes, 5 GT/s per lane)
External interface: XAUI, four differential pairs, 10 Gbps per pair
Power consumption: typical 4.0 W under full load
Operating temperature range: 0 to 70 degrees Celsius
Mechanical dimensions: 120 mm x 30 mm (length x height)
Signal integrity: 100 ohm differential impedance on XAUI lines

Applications

High-speed Ethernet aggregation in blade and rack servers
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) adapters for storage area networks
Network function virtualization (NFV) platforms requiring multiple XAUI ports
Telecom infrastructure equipment that needs scalable 10 Gigabit connectivity
Scientific computing clusters where low latency and high bandwidth are critical

This riser provides a reliable bridge between PCIe and XAUI, enabling system designers to expand network capacity without sacrificing performance or stability.
