E-Tube could replace both copper and optical interconnects
With the expansion of data centers and the rise of generative AI, LLMs, IoT and video streaming services, the demand for advanced interconnects is higher than ever.
Conventional interconnects using copper have critical bandwidth limitations caused by the ‘skin effect’, where the current flowing through the cable is concentrated at the surface of the conductor. Optical interconnects, while offering high capacity over longer distances, require significant capital expenses for short-reach, high-volume links deployment.
Point2’s E-Tube provides a low-cost, low-loss broadband dielectric waveguide solution that could serve as an advanced alternative to existing electrical and optical interconnects in high-speed, short-reach communication links.
