The IW-RT04-02 is a retimer card designed by InWin. Provideing x16 lanes of PCIe Gen5 (32GT/s) bandwidth, and the transmission performance is 2x faster than Gen4.
Two MCIO 8i connectors support up to four NVMe SSDs (two MCIO 8i to MCIO 2 x 4i cables optional). It's suitable for data-intensive applications such as databases and high-performance computing.


The IW-RT04-02 high-performance architecture integrates the Phison PS7201 PCIe Gen5 Retimer IC, which can resolve signal distortion, meet the challenging signal integrity requirements for long PCIe Gen5 channels, and unlock the true potential of high-speed connectivity.
A low-profile design allows space for 2U servers, and the box arrives with full-height & half-height brackets to support the wide range of 1U-4U servers.
