PCI Express Specifications and ECNs for ReviewPCI-SIG® Member benefits include the ability to influence the direction of PCI I/O Technology, review draft specifications, and participate in the ECR/ECN process. Please check this page regularly for new material available for member review. PCI Express c-Link Specification Revision 0.3THIS IS A DRAFT SPECIFICATION ONLY AND, AS SUCH, IS SUBJECT TO FURTHER REVISION AND REVIEW WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS DRAFT SPECIFICATION IS PROVIDED TO YOU FOR REVIEW PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON FOR DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PURPOSES. PLEASE NOTE THAT PCI EXPRESS c-LINK SPECIFICATION IS NOT INTENDED TO BE THE TRADEMARKED NAME FOR THIS SPECIFICATION AND MAY NOT THEREFORE BE USED IN ANY PRESS RELEASES OR OTHER PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THIS SPECIFICATION. WE ARE USING NAME AS A PLACE HOLDER ONLY. PCI-SIG WILL NOTIFY THE MEMBERS WHEN A TRADEMARKED NAME HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR SUCH USE PURSUANT TO PCI-SIG's TRADEMARK AND LOGO USAGE GUIDELINES. This specification is focused on PCI Express cable solutions targeting small form factor external enclosures and internal enclosure solutions. The specification covers cabling and connector requirements to meet the PCI Express signaling needs of 2.5, 5.0, and 8 GT/s. In particular, this initial draft is focused on the detailed requirements for cable and connector electrical and mechanical specifications, passive and active cable support, peripheral power requirements, cable hot insertion and removal requirements, and associated side band signaling specification. Subsequent drafts will provide detailed specifications covering final requirements and associated functional specifications.
The review period for the PCI Express c-Link Specification Revision 0.3 will end at 5 p.m. (PT) on Thursday, May 24, 2012. Any feedback should be sent to administration@pcisig.com. PCI Express 2.0 External Cabling Specification Revision 0.9THIS IS A DRAFT SPECIFICATION ONLY AND, AS SUCH, IS SUBJECT TO FURTHER REVISION AND REVIEW WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS DRAFT SPECIFICATION IS PROVIDED TO YOU FOR REVIEW PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON FOR DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PURPOSES. 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 PCIe(R) signaling needs operating at a link speed of 5Gb/s. No assumptions are made regarding the implementation of PCIe compliant subsystems on either side of the cabled Link, e.g., PCIe Card Electromechanical (CEM), ExpressCard, Express Module, PXI Express, system board, or any other form factor. Such form factors are covered in other separate specifications.
The review period for the PCI Express 2.0 External Cabling Specification Revision 0.9 will end at 5 p.m. (PT) on Monday, June 18, 2012. Any feedback should be sent to administration@pcisig.com. Go to the PCI Express Review Archive to see specifications and ECNs that have completed their review cycle.
