Product Summary

The PEX8696-AA50BCF is a PEX 8696, PCI Express Gen 2 Switch. The PEX8696-AA50BCF employs an enhanced version of PLX’s field tested PEX 8648 PCIe switch architecture, which allows users to configure the device in legacy single-host mode or multi-host mode with up to eight host ports capable of 1+1 (one active & one backup) or N+1 (N active & one backup) host failover. This powerful architectural enhancement of the PEX8696-AA50BCF enables users to build PCIe based systems to support high-availability, failover, redundant and clustered systems. Suitable for host-centric as well as peer-to-peer traffic patterns, the PEX8696-AA50BCF can be configured for a wide variety of form factors and applications.
