PCIe Gen4 retimer adapter with dual SlimSAS 8i ports supporting up to four NVMe SSDs.
LR-LINK presents the LRNV9F24, a specialized PCIe 4.0 x16 retimer adapter engineered to meet the rigorous signal integrity demands of modern high-speed storage systems. By utilizing advanced signal conditioning techniques, this adapter effectively compensates for channel attenuation caused by PCB traces, connectors, and cables, ensuring stable operation over longer distances.
Featuring two built-in SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i connectors, the LRNV9F24 can support up to four internal NVMe SSDs. It offers flexible configuration options, allowing users to bifurcate the PCIe link into two x8 or four x4 data paths, depending on CPU and BIOS support. This flexibility makes it ideal for servers, storage appliances, and RAID controllers requiring high-density NVMe connectivity.
The adapter is compliant with Intel PCIe 4.0 Retimer specifications and NVM Express 1.3 standards. It eliminates deterministic and random jitter while supporting hot-plug capabilities when used with compatible backplanes. Designed for seamless integration, it operates natively with standard NVMe drivers across major operating systems including Linux, Windows, VMware, and FreeBSD, requiring no additional driver installation.
Compensates for channel loss up to 30dB, ensuring stable PCIe Gen4 signals over long distances.
