PCIe expander over fiber?

[rkruz]

Is there a product that will allow me to extend a PCIe Gen2 bus over fiber to a 4 slot expansion backplane? HBA in PCIe BUS>fiber> 4 Slot PCIe expansion backplane.

I dont need the distance, but the convenience of a bulkhead fiber transition connection.

thanks for any thoughts

The bus expanders I found have DVI-I (29 pin) wired connectors. You can probably find optical adapters for that, but why bother? Anyway, here is a link to a 4-slot expansion bus: http://www.startech.com/product/PEX2PCIE4L-PCI-Express-to-2-PCI-Full-Length-2-PCIe-Single-lane-Expansion-Box
