Newer fabric network input/output (I/O) cables and connectors support higher speeds, reduce latency, and support the latest interfaces — including the IEEE-802.3df Ethernet 200G per-lane specification project and modified versions, such as the RoCE and iWARP Ethernet. Other new cable and connector developments are working to include standard InfiniBand XDR 200G and modified versions, such […]

How PCIe interface developments have changed and advanced
By Ed Cady, contributing editor Peripheral component interconnect express, or PCIe, has become the interface standard for connecting high-speed components, such as graphics, memory, and storage. Typically, PCIe interface signaling and physical layer implementation rely on printed circuit board assembly (PCBAs) and edge connectors. Several standardized and non-standardized cabling solutions are available that support a […]
