PCI Express Cable Extender

Designed to support development and debugging of PCI express boards. The PCI Express Cable Extender allows easy access from both sides of the PCI express board that is plugged into the Extender. It has overcurrent protection and provides access to the PCI express bus JTAG signals. By enabling access to the PCI express bus JTAG signals the PCI Express Cable Extender becomes a universal device to help support programming/loading of FPGA/CPLD during debugging and verification PCI express cards.
