Article Excerpt:
  • The OIF will develop a faster electrical signalling standard 
  • The 224-gigabit standard will make optical modules sleeker 
  • It will also help data centre operators keep up with ever-growing software workloads

Nathan TracyIt was just a matter of time before the OIF started on the next electrical interface standard beyond 112 gigabits-per-second (Gbps).

There have been announcements of new 800-gigabit optical modules along with growing interest in co-packaged optics, where optical interfaces are added alongside semiconductor chips.

Nathan Tracy, TE Connectivity and OIF president, says member companies will need to be creative to develop a 224-gigabit electrical interface. Getting signals to travel at such speeds over workable distances will be a challenge.  

The project, to kick-off in August, will begin with a study phase that will help identify the interface types needed.
