AGP 32 bit Bus Extenders .... Bus Isolation and Wearout extenders ....

AGPIX32 is a Bus Isolation Extender that allows user to test the AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) add-on boards quickly, without having to power the system down each time. It is especially designed to save valuable labor and time in the production environment. It is also a great tool for engineers, during product development, where changes and testing are required. In addition, it protects the motherboard from being damaged by bad AGP boards. It has many outstanding features such as, local or external power and signal isolation controls and fused power lines with short circuit sensing, etc. It also allows for voltage margin and current measurement. The dimension is 8.3" L x 1.9" H.AGPIX32 Specification
