VESA Endorses Copper-Cable Alternative

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) DisplayPort Task Force announced that its new DisplayPort 1.1 standard has enabled hybrid devices such as fiber-optic transceivers to be recognized and used as an alternative to copper cables to connect PCs to flat-panel displays and in other applications. The task force and subgroups, led by silicon photonics developer Luxtera Inc. of Carlsbad, Calif., and other member companies, unanimously approved the addition to the specification. This is the first time the industry has recognized and approved high-performance optical video interconnect...Read full article
