Vikram Sekar(@vikramskr):One way to extend the reach of passive copper interconnect is to switch to PAM6 modulation, from PAM4. While it seems simple in terms of just swapping modulation, the impact of doing so is massive. In this post, we will cover how modulations work from the ground up, in simple layman terms. No technical background required. We will end with discussing what the transition to PAM6 will look like, if we were to make the switch.
