4/8 Port Active SATA Mux
This SATA MUX is a physical layer switch, capable of automatically routing signals between its 4 host ports and 8 device ports. The module allows full remote path configuration with separate voltage and pre-emphasis selection on each port. Signals can also be forwarded, allowing the switching of instrumentation into different paths of a system.
The Torridon System integrates into existing test setups. The simple control interface makes it ideal both for bench testing and full automation of large test suites. This enables engineers to work more efficiently, giving higher confidence and lower outgoing failure rates.
