==== PCI Express OCuLink <span class="anchor" id="OCULINK"></span> ==== ''OCuLink'' (standing for "optical-copper link", as ''Cu'' is the [[Symbol (chemistry)|chemical symbol]] for [[copper]]) is an extension for the "cable version of PCI Express". Version 1.0 of OCuLink, released in Oct 2015, supports up to 4 PCIe 3.0 lanes (3.9 GB/s) over copper cabling; a [[fiber optic]] version may appear in the future. The most recent version of OCuLink, OCuLink-2, supports up to 16 GB/s (PCIe 4.0 x8)<ref name="OCuLink2" /> while the maximum bandwidth of a [[USB 4]] cable is 10GB/s. While initially intended for use in PCIe interconnections in servers, OCuLink's popularity lies primarily in its use for laptops for the connection of powerful external GPU boxes, a more prevalent application.<ref name="6MiK5" />
