Amphenol FCI PCIe Gen 2 Card Edge Connectors

Amphenol FCI PCI Express® (PCIe) Gen 2 Card Edge Connectors enable PCIe signaling from 5Gb/s per differential signal pair. The base connector family provides x1, x4, x8, or x16 link widths to suit different bandwidth requirements. The series supports I/O cards (x1), server I/O (x4 and x8), and higher bandwidth, such as graphics and riser cards (x16). Amphenol FCI PCIe Gen 2 Card Edge Connectors enable all generations of PCI Express signaling in desktop PCs, workstations, and servers.
