2023 - 06 - 12Is the Oculink cable suitable for long-distance transmission?
Oculink cables are a new type of high-speed data transmission cable whose main purpose is to provide high-speed data transmission speed for VR devices and other high-performance computer devices. the transmission speed of Oculink cables is very fast, up to 40Gb/s or higher, so they are widely used in some scenarios where data transmission speed is strictly required. However, for long distance transmission, the suitability of Oculink cables for this application still needs to be explored. First, it should be noted that the Oculink cable is not a universal cable, it is only suitable for data transmission between specific devices. At the same time, Oculink cable is not a long distance data transmission cable, its scope of application is mainly in the short distance for high-speed data transmission, such as in the same chassis or between the chassis in close proximity to the data transmission. Therefore, if we need to transfer data over long distances, using Oculink cables is not a wise choice. Secondly, the Oculink connection line has certain limitations that require the use of specific interfaces and sockets. This means that if we need to do long distance transmission, we need to configure more interfaces and sockets...
