Flexible IO node Expander

FINE

The FINE is designed to expand MPL PIP Family (over the internal PCIe/104 bus) with up to 4 additional Mini PCI Express sockets. So many different IO interfaces can be supported with only one FINE adapter card.
Also Mini-SIM modules like GPS, LTE, 3/4G, Serial, Fieldbus (CAN, Profibus), Avionics modules (ARINC, 1553), MVB for Railways, etc. are supported for any mPCIe WAN device. The size of a PIP case is only 65mm in height and allows to install 6 mPCIe.

Each mPCIe socket resides on its own PCIe link. So the maximum interface speed available from the host board is used, but on the other hand no other PCIe/104 card can be stacked.

Key Features

Up to 4 Full-Mini Card PCI Express sockets
All mPCIe sockets with USB2.0 support
Up to 4 Mini-SIM modules supported
1.5V mPCIe sockets supply voltage
Environment temperature -40°C up to +85°C

The FINE has been designed to withstand harsh environments and extreme temperature conditions. The special rugged design, combined with the best industrial-grade components, offer high reliability and long-term performance.

some integration samples:

PIP with three mPCIe expansions and UPS

PIP Solution with four mPCIe expansions

MIL-PIP Solution with five mPCIe expansions
