Cambridge Electronic Industries, offer the industry's first CoaXPress Repeater capable of working at CXP-12 which removes the potential problem with the prohibitive short connection lengths of CXP-12. This small lightweight device is available in either a single, dual or quad connection format and has been approved by the JIIA as compliant with the CoaXPress V2.0 standard.

The CXP Repeater is a plug and play device which provides a cost-effective copper alternative to a fibre system, significantly increasing the connection length at a given bit rate between the host and device. The repeater requires no external power supply as it uses Power over CoaXPress (PoCXP) technology, with each port requiring its own power connection.

The simplicity of this plug and play repeater with its compact design allows it to be inserted discreetly into a production environment without redesign of the plant or equipment. It can also be used multiple times in a single connection as long as the system designer observes the power budget requirements.
