Peak Light is a new Intel's technology has the potential to replace the USB 3.0


Peak Light is a new technology that is used to interconnect devices using optical cable. Light Peak reportedly capable of connecting the device up to 100 feet away.

Besides Light Peak is also capable of connecting multiple devices at the same time, so that support multiple protocols and QOS. Peak Light technology is expected to replace USB 3.0 is the 'only' offers 5 Gbps transfer speed.

Intel also said Light Peak will be available to PC manufacturers in late 2010. PCs carrying the Light Peak itself will begin to be released early 2011.

Intel saw its new device called the Peak Light technology, which is used to connect many devices to remedy optic cable. This according to Intel's technology has the potential to replace the USB 3.0, which means it will eliminate the need for regular usage of ports that exist in many gadgets today. Peak Light Technology Intel has been published since last year, and according to a senior Intel, Kevin Kahn in the IDF in Beijing, Intel will manufacture this technology in late 2010 and expect a lot of partners that can help sales.

However, this trend trend optic cables are without electricity this can provide benefits that separate optic cable is also support for various protocols, such as for USB and Serial ATA, said Justin Rattner, head of Intel Labs. Peak Light can run multiple protocols at the same time and more than one line, so all the data for separate cables can be run on a single cable Peak Light. Intel explains, there is no conflict between the two technologies, namely Light Peak and USB. Intel saw the Light Peak is a complement of USB 3.0, because the Light Peak make USB and other protocols can run together in one long cable and high speed in the future, Kahn added.

According to Kahn, Light Peak can transfer data at 10 Gbps or fast enough to send the Blu-ray movie in half a minute. Peak Light can be plugged in the laptop via a USB 3.0 port with an additional component to receive optical signals. According to Kahn, the USB 3.0 into a place fit for Light because it does not need anymore Peak Light Peak ports, especially for use in portable computers. While USB 3.0, a new version of USB is still slower than the Light Peak with 5 Gbps signal rate, but faster than previous USB versions
