PCI Express: Expansion Backplanes and Adapters

Not all System Developers require the complete turnkey solution provided by our standard PCI Express Expansion Systems. For volume OEM use, Cyclone offers our Expansion systems' components - the expansion adapters, cables and backplanes - for deployment into unique applications not addressed by our standard system-level products.

PCI Express: Expansion Backplanes, Host Bus-to-Cable Adapters and Riser Cards

Our proven PCI Express Expansion Systems are useful in used in a varied and vast application areas. In recognition that a standard turnkey products may not fill all the unique requirements of an embedded system, Cyclone Microsystems offers the components of our proven PCI Express Systems - Expansion Adapters, Expansion cables, and Expansion Backplanes- to qualified volume OEMs. These component level products allow system developers to leverage our existing and proven technology into application specific programs.

As these system components are not available in prototype and development quantities, please see our PCI Express Expansion Systems for complete system offerings.

Derivative and private label products are available for customer-specific applications. While we are not a standard "design-for-hire" custom-product development source, we have a proven record of readily and effectively modifying our standard products.
