i would like to see oculink based pcbs

minidp and usb cabling is good for 'hacking' and lab deployments, but for edge (industrial environment - power plant, oil-and-gas pipelines), is not that good as it is confusing for personel serving on sites. pci express mention oculink as open opposition to thunderbolt.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Such PCBs do already exist and are available from stores, e.g., :

We used MiniDP as these cables allowed us to transport two high-speed differential signals, which is enough as we wanted to split a single M.2 x4 interface into two M.2 x2 interfaces, one male, one female.

No need to rely on our PCBs, you can buy oculink M.2 PCBs online as shared above :)

Best regards. Rick
