PCI-Express 3.0 Copper/Fiber Conversion
Amphenol now has an active technology, utilizing Amphenol Oval contact System MIL-DTL-38999 technology and
MT MIL-DTL-38999 fiber optic connectors, that convert PCI-express 3.0 to fiber optics (an x8 link and @ 8Gbps speeds) and back to copper PCI-express thereby extending the length of the overall channel to over 100 meters if needed.
