Using a U.2 (SFF-8639) connection, the CP163 supports PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth up to 64Gbps (depending on SSD performance), enabling high-speed NVMe storage deployment in compact and thermally constrained environments.
Unlike traditional enterprise storage backplanes that require larger installation footprints, the CP163 is optimized for applications where removable U.2/U.3 SSD access must be integrated into highly compact or mechanically restricted system layouts.
The enclosure also includes flexible mounting points, allowing system integrators to install the CP163 into custom chassis layouts, embedded platforms, or specialized rackmount integrations.
