As the application space for PCI Express® (PCIe®) cabling has grown, PCI-SIG® has kept up the pace to meet industry needs for high-speed cabling solutions. In this blog, we answer some common questions about PCIe cabling and the recently released CopprLink™ cables.

Author’s Note: This blog discusses new functionality introduced in the PCIe 6.0 specification, but please note that subsequent revisions have been published. Developers should always work from the latest revision to ensure they see all specification errata.

Author’s Note: This blog discusses new functionality introduced in the PCIe 6.0 specification, but please note that the PCIe 6.0.1 and PCIe 6.1 specification revisions have been published.

In early 2022, PCI-SIG® released the full version of the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0 specification.

Following the release of the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0 specification to members earlier this year, PCI-SIG® had the unique opportunity to participate in three IT industry podcasts.

PCI-SIG® built upon our momentum from 2020 with another successful year in 2021. From progress on the PCIe 5.0 architecture compliance program to the impending release of the PCIe 6.0 specification, we have hit many exciting milestones.

PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) technology is the most important high-speed serial bus in servers. Due to its high bandwidth and low latency characteristics, PCI Express architecture is widely used in various server interconnect scenarios, such as:

I’m pleased to share that PCI-SIG^® continues to make great progress on the development of our next generation of PCIe^® technology – the 

I am happy to share that PCI-SIG^® has begun developing the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) 6.0 specification, targeted for release in 2021.
