Signal Extension
Retimers, active cables, and interconnect modules that hold signal integrity across boards, risers, and racks.
Memory & Fabric
CXL memory expansion and high-radix switch boards that flatten the scale-up network and grow addressable memory.
Rack Systems
Backplanes, trays, and management firmware that turn boards into a deployable, instrumented rack-scale pod.
The lineup
The product families
Every product is engineered to be manufacturable, thermally-validated, and instrumented from the board up.

Featured family
Rigel — Retimer Add-in Cards
PCIe Gen 6 / CXL 3.x reach extension in a standard slot, SI-validated and instrumented out of the box.
Request the product briefReach extension
Recovers and re-transmits high-speed signals to roughly triple link reach across boards, risers, and cables.
On-board telemetry
Per-lane eye, error, and link-state metrics exposed over the BMC via Meissa firmware.
Drop-in form factors
Standard CEM add-in card and riser variants that fit existing chassis without redesign.
