Associate published some important revelations of Intel representatives about the technology light peak. Intel manager confirmed that the first generation Of light peak will use copper conductors. The latter according to their characteristics proved to be better than it was assumed originally. The application of optic increases the cost of the realization of this interface; therefore it is completely sufficient for the majority of consumer needs to use the abilities of copper conductors.
The transmission speed of information due to the passage to copper will be lowered, but optical channels interface light peak must transfer information with speed up to 10 Gbit/s at a distance to 100 meters. As explained Intel representatives , the interface light peak is completely ready to introduction. It previously communicated that the first devices with light peak support will appear in first half of 2011.
