Product Description


PCI6-AD-x16-2xMCIO-RT — PCIe/CXL Gen6 x16 AIC Slot Retimer Card

The Serial Cables PCI6-AD-x16-2xMCIO-RT is a PCIe/CXL Gen6 active retimer card designed to extend signal reach in high-speed interconnect validation and deployment environments. Featuring a x16 AIC gold finger and two MCIO SFF-TA-1016 connectors in a compact half-height, half-width form factor, the card provides one x16 root-side and two x8 endpoint-side ports, supporting full x16 link configurations as well as bifurcated x8, x4, and x2 lane groupings (Note: Bifurcation must be set on the Host as well).

Available with either the Marvell Alaska P or Broadcom Vantage 16-lane Gen6 retimer IC, the card supports PCIe Gen1 through Gen6 (64 GT/s) and CXL 3.1, extending channel reach beyond 36 dB at full line rate. The integrated active fan-sink provides thermal management for continuous operation with no driver installation required.

Powered via a x16 CEM slot, the card exposes an SMBus interface header (J1) for optional retimer IC and EEPROM access, making it well-suited for signal integrity validation, cable reach characterization, and system bring-up testing.

Serial Cables Phoenix - PCIe Gen6 / CXL 3.x Retimer Management Suite
One tool to bring up, validate, and qualify PCIe Gen6 retimers — across silicon vendors. Phoenix discovers the part over sideband, exposes every on-chip instrument behind a single dashboard UI, API, and CLI, and produces the timestamped evidence your qualification report needs — from first scan to overnight soak.

Multi-Vendor by Design
One workflow for Broadcom Vantage (BCM85667) today, with Marvell Alaska-P (MVCHP1016x) recognized and lighting up per feature as it validates — no separate tool per vendor.

Evidence In One Call
Capture a timestamped, labeled artifact — status, FEC, recovery, eye, margin, ELA — in a single click or REST call. The bundle a qual record or interop cell needs.
