StarFabric conformity PCI Bus Expansion Adapter for CardBus PC-Slot

EAD(CB)SF is an expansion adapter that connects the optional expansion chassis [ECH(PCI)SF] to a PC to extend a CardBus compliant PC Card slot in the PC, thereby providing additional PCI bus slots. The expansion adapter can connect the expansion chassis to the PC over a distance of up to 12m. EAD(CB)SF operates under Windows XP, Windows 2000.

	A high-speed serial transmission PCI bridge [StarFabric] has been introduced. A 5Gbps full-duplex link (transmission: 2.5Gbps, reception: 2.5Gbps)*1 is used for high-speed communication of PCI bus signals. *1 The numerical values displayed are theoretical maximum values; therefore these values do not represent the actual data transfer speeds.
	STP category 5e cables with high noise-imunity realize easy wiring and installation. Connection cables (12-meter, STP-category, 5e straight cables) are bundled. A commercial category 5e UTP cable can also be used.
	Capable of expand the PCI buses (5V/32-bit, 33 MHz) from a notebook computer.
	A suitable PCI bus expansion chassis can be selected, according to the number of slots and board size required.
	Power supply controllable in response to the turning on/off of the PC`s power supply.
	EAD(CB)SF uses the switch fabric to extend the bus. The expansion adapter does not work normally if the BIOS and CardBus controller on your PC do not detect the switch fabric device as the PCI-to-PCI Bridge. Check CONTEC Web site for more information on the certified PCs and supported OSs. None of the following types of boards can be used in any expansion slot in the expansion chassis connected to the EAD(CB)SF. 1) Video display board (VGA board), 2) Board that must boot from within the expansion chassis, 3) Board to connect a PCI bus expansion chassis, 4) Board explicitly stated not to be used with the PCI-to-PCI Bridge, 5) Some boards, even PCI-compliant ones, may not work depending on their specifications
