PCI Express® External Cabling Specification Revision 2.0
PCI-SIG announces the availability of the PCI Express® External Cabling Specification Revision 2.0. This is a companion specification to the PCI Express Base Specification. Its primary focus is the implementation of cabled PCI Express®. The discussions are confined to copper cabling and their connector requirements to meet the PCI Express signaling needs at 5.0 GT/s. No assumptions are made regarding the implementation of PCI Express compliant Subsystems on either side of the cabled Link; e.g., PCI Express Card Electromechanical (CEM), ExpressCard™, ExpressModule™, PXI Express™, system board, or any other form factor. Such form factors are covered in other separate specifications.
