PXIe-GPU Compute & Graphics
Orca-C2X
COTS PXIe eGPUs & PCIe-to-PXIe Subsystem Kits
Orca-C2X enables extreme performance NVIDIA GPUs and full-height, full-length (FHFL) 1- or 2-slot PCIe Add-In-Cards (AICs) to operate seamlessly and transparently in PXIe systems with full (unshared) PXIe bandwidth up to 16 GB/Sec, without requiring Thunderbolt or MXIe remote control infrastructure.
Full (Unshared) PXIe Bandwidth to PCIe Devices
Unlike Remote Control (MXIe) systems where PXIe devices share 4, 8, or 16 lanes to the external host PC, Orca-C2X provides up to 8 dedicated PCIe G3/G4 lanes between the PCIe AIC and the PXIe backplane/embedded controller. In G3 x8 PXIe systems (e.g., NI PXIe-1092 & PXIe-8881), Orca-C2X supports >7.5 GB/Sec full duplex.
Thunderbolt Not Required
Add ANY PCIe device to virtually ANY PXIe system, eliminating the need for embedded controllers with Thunderbolt. With its PCIe G3/G4 x8 interface and up to 8/16 GB/Sec, Orca-C2X delivers 3x to 6x the Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth (~2.5 GB/Sec).
Low-Latency Re-Driver Technology
Orca-C2X latency is typically less than 200 picoseconds for Host and Target Adapters (combined) and ~5 ns for a 1m cable (one-way). Advanced PCIe Re-drivers with Linear Equalization provide optimal PCIe compatibility across a wide range of PCIe devices. Continuous Time Linear Equalization (CTLE) boosts up to 18 dB at 8 GHz to extend channel reach, with ultra-low latency of 70 picoseconds (typical) and low additive random jitter of 60 fs (typical).
Seamless and Transparent Operation
PCIe Add-In-Cards operate as if they are directly on the Host PXIe System Backplane, transparent and seamless under Windows or Linux operating systems without impact to device drivers or application software.
Engineered for PCIe, OS & App Compatibility
Orca-C2X features Advanced PCIe Re-drivers with Linear Equalization for optimal PCIe compatibility with a wide range of PCIe devices. Protocol agnostic linear re-driver for seamless PCIe link training. Supports Pin-Strap or SMBus programming.
Futureproof & Flexible
Orca-C2X supports PCIe G4 x8 for upgrades to 16 GB/Sec full duplex when deployed in PXIe systems with PCIe G4/G5 backplanes and embedded controllers. Supports unmodified customer-provided and integrated (or consigned and RADX-integrated) PCIe Add-In-Cards: Full Height, Full Length (FHFL), single- or dual-slot, PCIe G3/G4 x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16, up to ~500W via PCIe bus power and DC connectors.
