Abstract :
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 Mb/s. The transmission distance between data-processing equipment using copper cabling can be up to 25 m. A distance-independent protocol allows the average data rate to approach the peak data rate. This is a benefit for future, fiber-optic version of the HSC. The HSC and its uses are described, followed by a description of the efforts to develop an ANSI standard for the HSC.<>
