ADLINK Technology PXES-2314T portable PXI Express chassis

ADLINK Technology has introduced the PXES-2314T PXI Express chassis with versatile, high-bandwidth Thunderbolt 3 interfaces. Unlike traditional PXI Express systems, which are usually large and require complex set-up, the product is a compact test and measurement platform that offers the performance and flexibility of PXI Express but in a portable system, requiring only the small PXES-2314T chassis, a notebook PC with Thunderbolt 3 ports and desired peripheral modules.

The product features two Thunderbolt 3 ports for host PC connections, which use USB Type-C connectors and support USB power delivery up to 60 W and system bandwidth of 40 Gbps. The chassis offers four PXI Express Hybrid slots: two PXIe Hybrid slots up to PCIe Gen2 x1 and two PXIe Hybrid slots up to PCIe Gen3 x4. It measures 207.9 x 148.4 x 220.5 mm, providing a compact system that delivers high performance but saves space, whether on a benchtop or the factory floor.

Targeted use cases for the 4-slot system include performing mobile quality control testing in the production line without sacrificing feature functions or high performance. R&D tests and experiments can be performed flexibly, without requiring investments in older, more cumbersome PXIe systems. The portable device also supports use cases that focus on field troubleshooting, hands-on demos and training for an array of applications in a range of environments.
