Solutions for copper-based SpaceFibre links

This paper will primarily present a design for high speed copper-based links, capable of transmitting SpaceFibre signals at 2.5Gb/s or higher, using a custom interface connector not significantly larger than the 9 way Micro-D style used for existing SpaceWire links. The paper additionally looks briefly at the feasibility of creating miniature, multi-channel SpaceFibre links for short lengths or `inside the box' applications.
