High speed cable solutions for PCIe 5.0/6.0

CopprLink™ is a cable specification developed by PCI-SIG to meet the industry's growing demand for high-speed data transmission. It is designed for internal and external cables supporting PCIe 5.0/6.0 technologies, providing signal transmission speeds of 32.0 GT/s and 64.0 GT/s. By combining PCIe with copper cables, CopprLink™ enables long-distance, low-latency high-speed signal transmission. As the demand for high-speed signal transmission grows in data centers, servers, AI, edge computing, high-performance computing (HPC), and 5G applications, the usage of PCIe cables is increasing. It adheres to the standard connectors maintained by SNIA, utilizing existing, well-established connectors form factors to accelerate adoption, time-to-market, and reduce costs.
“The CopprLink Internal cables utilize the SNIA SFF-TA-1016 connector, which is an Internal Unshielded High Speed Connector System. The Internal cable has a maximum reach of 1m within a single system. The Internal cable example implementations include motherboard-to-add-in-card, motherboard-to-backplane, chip-to-chip and add-in-card-to-backplane inside a self-contained server platform node. The Internal cables are targeted for storage and data center compute nodes.”
“The CopprLink External cables utilize the SNIA SFF-TA-1032 connector, which is a Multi-lane External High Speed Cable System. The External cable has a maximum reach of up to 2m. The External cable example implementations include CPU-to-storage, CPU-to-memory, CPU-to-accelerator, and accelerator fabrics in devices disaggregated server platform nodes. The External cables are targeted for storage and data center AI/ML where a longer reach is needed.”
Compare to other third-party labs in Taiwan, iPasslabs teams maintains the closer collaboration with PCI-SIG, a solid partner of the Serial Enabling and Optical Cable Working group as well as holds one testing item of Gold Suite in the Compliance Test Workshop and PCIe 6.0 Pre-FYI Workshop quarterly every year.
