Specifies a physical-level interface for transmitting digital data at 800 Mbit/s or 1600 Mbit/s serially over fiber-optic cables across distances of up to 10 km. The signalling sequences and protocol used are compatible with American National Standard for Information Systems ? High-Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI-PH), ANSI X3.183-1991, which is limited to 25-meter distances. HIPPI-Sereial may be integrated as a host?s native interface, or used as an external extender for HIPPI-PH ports.
