Introduction

The new ExpressCard offers users an easy way to add hardware or media to existing systems. The latest technology provides desktop and mobile computer users a consistent, easy and reliable way to connect devices into their systems. It’s mobile and small-form-factor replaces conventional parallel buses for I/O devices with scaleable, high speed interfaces; while improving performance by supporting both PCI Express and USB 2.0 standards.

Add memory, wired or wireless communications, multimedia and security features by inserting the ExpressCard into compliant systems. About half the size and lighter than today’s PC Card, the ExpressCard also leverages the proven advantages of PC Card technology including reliability, durability and expansion flexibility.

ExpressCard Technology

Quatech’s ExpressCards are available in 1 or 2 ports in either Ethernet, SATA or serial configurations. It improves data transfer speed by using higher performance serial data interfaces rather than parallel buses. The ExpressCard technology uses a simpler connector and eliminates the CardBus controller by using direct connections to PCI-Express and USB ports in the host. This lowers the cost of slot implementations in host systems.

Advanced features

Quatech’s ExpressCard maximizes advanced features such as:

  • Reliability and flexibility
  • Hot plug-n-play
  • Auto-configuration

User Benefits

Supporting both PCI Express and USB in both desktop and notebook systems, ExpressCard technology brings new functionality to computer users not found today. It delivers consistent, easy, reliable and non-threatening solutions to connecting devices to systems. It can be plugged in or removed at any time.

OEMs also benefit from this technology, due to a lower implementation cost due to its system and small form factor mechanical design.

If you’re looking for versatility, the PCI Express to ExpressCard Adapter can be used to easily transfer an ExpressCard from laptops to desktops.
