The news originates fromPCI-SIG, the industry group overseeing thePCI Express standard.

Essentially, it caters to any scenario requiring high-speed PCIe connections within a equipment.

This standard is also capable of handling the 64GT/s speeds introduced by PCIe 6.0.

New CopprLink standard extends PCIe reach over wire for 64GT/s connections

Interestingly, PCI-SIG foresees significant adoption of CopprLink in AI/machine learning applications for data transfer between distributed systems.

However, copper cabling faces limitations at these extended distances and high bandwidths.

PCI-SIG is expediting the deployment of CopprLink specifications into real products.
