COM Express Type 7

One of the most fundamental innovations of the COM Express Type 7 pinout is the support of up to four 10GbE interfaces, essential for the next generation of edge node appliances. Type 7 modules are headless (no graphics), which is why they are also referred to as “Server Level COM Express”. Since LAN PHY is are located on the carrier board, end users can choose between 10GbE Copper or Fiber solutions. Type 7 further supports up to 32 lanes of PCIe as well as NC-SI management interface. SoCs range from entry level Intel Atom® up to 16-core Xeon® processors that are available in extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
Introduction of COM Express Type 7 The range of applications for Type 7 modules is very broad : general purpose rugged embedded computer, mission critical server, SDN appliance, signal processing & data acquisition appliance, network test equipment, satellite gateway, in-flight entertainment system.
