Fiber optics and optical transceivers are the backbone of long distance communication networks. Yet, optical transceivers find homes outside of data centers, optical switches and FTTH. Samtec's FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™ has been designed with flexibility in mind. FireFly enables system architects and designers the option of using either optical or copper interconnects in the connector system. That flexibility is ideal for any mid-board or ASIC adjacent embedded applications. Example … [Read more...]

Samtec Launches New SI/PI Capabilities and Resource Landing Page
Once upon a time . . . I really don't like starting a blog out that way, but in this case, it applies. Bear with me. Like most undergrad Electrical Engineering students, I took "Introduction to Electromagnetics" my junior year. I thought it would straight forward due to previous exposure in Physics. Boy, was I wrong! No matter how hard I tried, I made no sense of some dude named Maxwell and upside-down triangles. I dropped the class in the fall semester and took it in the summer with … [Read more...]
Linear Direct Drive Proof-of-Concept Can Support 100 G+ Signaling
This video from DesignCon 2022 shows a proof-of-concept for an on-package, or near-package, direct-drive electrical channel that can support 100 G + signaling. These drives could be used in mid-board optical and copper designs using Samtec Flyover® cable assemblies or mezzanine connector sets, or for full-channel front-panel and back-panel cable applications. Samtec’s Kevin Burt walks us through the demo, the results, and a brief discussion of the benefits. What's Going On On … [Read more...]
Higher Standards Within the Mil/Aero Industry
My father served 25+ years as a Sergeant in the United States Air Force. As a military kid, I never really understood what his job entailed. Honestly, my only thought was "cool, my dad is traveling all over the world...". Little did I appreciate the precise and rugged avionics and mechanics found on aircraft carriers. My eyes were opened to the inner workings of Mil/Aero electronics at the recent Sea-Air-Space Expo. This event attracts global leaders, key decision makers and solutions … [Read more...]
May the 4th Be With You!
"Hello there!" Any Star Wars nerd worth their weight in spice from Kessel knows who said that. Rightfully, Disney+ released a new full-length Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer. If you haven't watched it yet, you should! It would be a lie to say that I am not geeked about this trailer and the upcoming Disney+ series. While this may appear like a shameless blog, Samtec has a long history of appreciating Star Wars geekery. Aside from the fun, sci-fi culture is definitely associated with bleeding edge … [Read more...]
