Gen6 U.2 x4-1 Breaker

Gen6 U.2 x4-1 Breaker

Part Number: QTL3351, QTL3362

Product Details

PCIe Gen6 U.2 x4-1 Breaker (4 PCIe lanes, lane 0 switched, lanes 1-3 directly routed).

This gives you the main set of features from our Breaker range but provides a lower-cost option for many tests. The ability to switch lane 0 will force a link failure or lane-reversal, depending on the features of the SSD.

The module has full control over power and sideband pins, allowing simulation of many hot-swap scenarios. Individual control of each signal, pin bounce, and high-speed glitching combine to greatly increase the number of test cases you can perform. ‘Driving’ is available on some sideband pins, allowing a range of additional tests to drive signals high/low rather than just disconnecting them.

The ‘+Triggering’ version has an additional MCX trigger IN/OUT to sync with external test equipment, and the ability to monitor and

An individual drive modules  is ideal for simple bench testing. For automated storage enclosures, multiple units can be integrated into a single test system.

Each drive module requires one port on a Torridon Controller.

NOTE: We recommend evaluating this product in your test system before purchase
