  • Hersteller Contec
  • Kategorie: Bus Extensions
  • The CONTEC BUF(PCI)13 is a PCI bus-to-PCI bus expansion system designed to extend the number of available PCI slots in a host computer. It provides a 14-slot PCI backplane (13 user-available slots) through a PCI-to-PCI bridge connection, enabling additional PCI devices to be installed externally while maintaining full bus performance and compliance with PCI Bus Revision 2.1 (+5V type). The system operates at up to 33 MHz with 32-bit I/O and memory addressing and supports interrupt levels INTA through INTD.
- PCI Bus Expansion Capability:
Expands the host computer’s PCI bus by adding a 14-slot backplane (13 usable slots) via a PCI-to-PCI bridge connection.

- High Compatibility:
Compliant with 32-bit PCI Bus Revision 2.1 (+5V signaling). Supports standard PCI cards sized 120 × 107 mm.

- Stable Bus Operation:
Operates at a maximum bus clock of 33 MHz, ensuring reliable data transfer and synchronization between host and expansion chassis.

- Flexible Power Integration:
Supports both PS/2 and ATX power supply configurations. ATX power can be interlocked with the host PC’s power for synchronized startup and shutdown.

- Comprehensive Connectivity:
Includes a 96-pin shielded cable (1 m) for high-integrity signal transmission between the host and expansion unit.

- LED Status Indicators:
Multiple onboard LEDs indicate power status for +3.3V, +5V, +12V, and -12V rails, aiding in diagnostics and system monitoring.

- Industrial-Grade Design:
Designed for use in CONTEC’s FA-UNIT-F8DR or FA-UNIT-F8DR/M industrial PC cases, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility.

- Scalable Architecture:
Multiple BUF(PCI)13 units can be used in parallel to expand PCI capacity across several chassis (up to three sets demonstrated).

- Protection and Reliability:
Anti-static packaging, gold-plated connectors, and strict handling precautions ensure long-term reliability and signal integrity.
