HighPoint Launches Next-Gen External PCIe Gen5 x16 Switching Adapter with CDFP Connectivity: Ultra-Compact, Ultra-Fast, Mission-Ready

by Jon Seals | June 30, 2025 | | 0 comments

FREMONT, Calif. – HighPoint Technologies has introduced cutting-edge External PCIe x16 Switching Adapters, purpose-built for high-speed GPU and NVMe expansion in space-constrained platforms. Designed for seamless integration with the RocketStor 8000 eGPU expansion chassis and RocketStor 6000 NVMe storage enclosures, these advanced adapters leverage a single high-density CDFP cable to deliver up to 128GT/s of PCIe Gen5 x16 bandwidth—ensuring ultra-fast transfer performance, minimized latency, and stable connectivity through a compact and reliable interface.

Mission- Ready PCIe Expansion

Powered by HighPoint’s proven PCIe Gen5 x16 Switching Architecture, the external adapters deliver a full x16 lanes of bandwidth from the host to the enclosure, eliminating performance bottlenecks. Its intelligent firmware suite monitors temperature, PCIe bus speed, and enclosure health in real time, providing system administrators with instant alerts via front-facing LEDs, an audible alarm, and intuitive command-line diagnostics, while supporting firmware updates in the field.

The compact LP MD2 form factor adapter can be easily integrated into industry standard workstation, server and rackmount platforms, and is FRP compliant (field replaceable unit) to streamline service in the field.

Next-Generation External CDFP Expansion Solutions

With server-grade PCB design, integrated full-length passive aluminum cooling panels, and ultra-compact form factors, HighPoint external CDFP adapters deliver exceptional reliability and optimal thermal management without compromising space or speed. Ideal for mission-critical servers, media production, AI workflows, and industrial applications, HighPoint’s revolutionary external CDFP-based solutions set a new standard for scalable, high-performance PCIe expansion.
