Abstract: An interface card with extensible input/output interface used for being inserted into a slot of a mainboard and for transmitting a bus signal to a remote backplane having a plurality of input/output interfaces, including a repeater, a serializer, a processor, and an interface unit is disclosed. The repeater is used for enhancing the bus signal. The serializer is connected to the repeater and is used for serializing the bus signal. The processor is connected to both the repeater and the serializer and is used for monitoring the transmission of the bus signal and for compensating the bus signal. The interface unit is connected to both the repeater and the serializer and is used for transmitting the serialized bus signal to the remote backplane.
