OIF CEI Interoperability Demonstration
The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) sponsored the Common Electrical Interface (CEI) Interoperability Demonstration at
DesignCon 2005. The live demonstration showcased how the recently approved CEI IA, and continuing CEI work in progress,
can interoperate across multiple vendors’ transmitters, backplanes and receivers. The demonstration focused on 6G short reach,
11G short reach, 6G long reach and 11G long reach. These four electrical interfaces support chip-to-chip, chip-to-optical module,
and electrical backplane applications. The OIF is a non-profit organization with a unique and diverse member base, including many of the
world's leading carriers, component manufacturers and system vendors.
