Evidence

Previously – having to transmit a 200G Ethernet/InfiniBand signal from the NIC in the back half of the compute tray to the OSFP cage in the front of the compute tray necessitated the use of flyover cables as the signal loss over PCB at 200Gbit/s (uni-directional) per lane is too high

Context After

But now that the NIC is closer to the OSFP cage, the lower speed PCIe Gen6 signal (64Gbit/s per lane uni-directional) travels the longer distance. By making the PCIe Gen6 signal longer, the signal can travel over PCB given that PCIe Gen6 has better signal integrity than the higher speed 200G Ethernet/InfiniBand signal.

PCB vs Flyover Cables

② Atomic Claim

過去若要把每 lane 200Gbit/s 單向的 200G EthernetInfiniBand signal,從 compute tray 後半部的 NIC 傳到 compute tray 前方的 OSFP cage,就必須使用 flyover cables,因為該速率下經 PCB 傳輸的 signal loss 過高。
