Serial Cables First to Market With New Gen6 Host Interface Board with Broadcom PEX-90144-A0 Atlas III Switch Chip

Close relationship with Broadcom allows Serial Cables to release first PCIe Gen6 host card on the market. Boards available for preorder now.

ENGLEWOOD, CO, UNITED STATES, March 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Serial Cables, leader in high-quality cabling and custom adapters, announces that their new Gen6 Host Interface Board powered by the Broadcom PEX-90144-A0 Atlas III Switch Chip is now available for preorder, with production scheduled to begin on April 15, 2025.

“Serial Cables’ Gen6 Host Interface Board is the only solution on the market that enables developers to test Gen6 endpoints and switches effectively, even if no Gen6 servers (root complex’s) or EP (end points) exist in the market today. Just plug the board into any AIC slot and the upstream traffic from the PCIe switch is Gen6 (32Ghz).” said Paul Mutschler, CEO at Serial Cables. “Our close relationship with Broadcom for early access allows us, once again, to be the very first commercially available PCIe Gen6 host card on the market.

“The evaluation process was crucial to ensuring that the board is relevant to as many types of applications as possible.” added Justin Mutschler, EVP of Operations. “For example, to enable dual-port testing on all x8 MCIOs and x16 straddle mounts for our storage and SSD partners, we engineered the board to provide sufficient REFCLK and PERST# signals.”

KEY FEATURES:
• Broadcom PEX-90144-A0 Atlas III Switch Chip
• Speed Up to 64 GT/s
• Compatibility with all sizes of E3.s and E1.s
