1. Overview
1.a. Description
The host interface board installs into a PCIe x4, x8, or x16 connector in your host motherboard or backplane. The expansion cable
adapter (ECA) is a free-standing board with four screw mounting holes and can be mounted into an enclosure. The ECA slot
operates at x4 speeds but its x16 connector can accommodate a PCIe x4, x8, or x16 add-in card. The Cable Expansion Kit 2000
allows you to operate any PCI Express-based device remotely over a cable at speeds up to 10Gb/s.
