The high-speed channel (HSC) standard

Conference ·

The High-Speed Channel (HSC) is a simple high-performance, point-to-point channel for transmitting digital data at peak data rates of 800 or 1600 Mbit/s. The transmission distance between data-processing equipment using copper cabling can be up to 25 meters. A distance-independent protocol allows the average data rate to approach the peak data rate. This is a benefit for future, fiber-optic versions of the HSC. The HSC and its uses are described, followed by a description of the efforts for an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for the HSC. 3 figs.
