- They extend parallel PCI bus with serial PCI Express, SATA, Ethernet, and USB, offering higher performance while maintaining mechanical backwards compatibility to CompactPCI. Supported by thousands of available chipsets, chips, and operating systems.
- 20x data transfer improvement over PCI Express lanes as compared to CompactPCI. Total data transfer improvement of 80x when Ethernet, SATA, and USB are used.
- Wide O/S support
- Scalable from a single board to large systems
- Hybrid systems allow combination of CompactPCI Serial and CompactPCI peripheral cards, using a CompactPCI PlusIO CPU card in the system slot.
- 3U and 6U Eurocard form factors are defined utilising the popular IEEE 1101.1 and IEEE 1101.10 mechanical standards providing implementation flexibility and widely available off-the-shelf parts.
