CEIMR interface is added for medium reach interconnect cable < 30cm length to connect chip to chip on same PCB.
CEILR and CEILR_ER (extended reach) interface is added to connect with cable (twin-axial copper cable backplane) < 1 m for communication interface between two cards across a backplane.
These interfaces follows OIF’s (Optical Internetworking Forum ) Common Electrical Interface.
