The Datapath Express11-G3 backplane provides 11 eight lane PCI Express slots, all implemented as x16 physical connectors.
They can be used with a standard PICMG 1.3 SBC as a stand-alone system or in combination with multiple backplanes to provide a PCI Express expansion system for a standard PC.
This backplane uses advanced PCI Express 3.0 switches to create high bandwidth that connects up to 11 PCI express plug in cards into a host system.
The Datapath Express11-G3 uses PCIe Gen.3 switches to provide each slot with up to 8GB/s bi-directional bandwidth.
Using multiple Express11-G3 backplanes configured in a daisy chain expansion mode allows for the construction of large systems. The Express11-G3 can also be expanded using a star configuration. This configuration enables the construction of very large systems supporting low latency with a high number of slots.
