Optical Workgroup News Today

The transition of PCIe over optical interfaces heralds a breakthrough for low-latency operations. As a key player in the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), ...

PCI-SIG today announced the formation of a new workgroup to deliver PCI Express (PCIe) technology over optical connections. The PCI-SIG Optical Workgroup intends to be optical technology-agnostic, supporting a wide range of optical technologies, while potentially developing technology-specific form factors

The technology behind PCI Express interface looks set for a significant technological revamp, but it could easily be a decade until we see this technology filter down to PCs.

PCI-SIG Optical Workgroup will prepare PCIe for using optical interconnects.
