A new era in connectivity has indeed arrived. Samtec is ready to help you find the optimal interconnect solutions for your next design. Connect with Samtec experts at OFC 2024 March 26-28, 2024 at the San Diego Convetion Center to learn about new and existing products and technologies that support data rates up to 224 Gbps PAM4.
Samtec Booth #4625 – Optical/Copper Demos
Visit Samtec in Booth #4625 to meet with our team members who are advancing standards development. Samtec is pushing the state of the art to deliver the best signal and power integrity performance. That’s the case whether your system is operating at 56 Gbps, 112 Gbps, or 224 Gbps.
This year at OFC, Samtec will have showcase demonstrations that incorporate the new Si-Fly™ HD for 224 Gbps PAM4, Samtec HaloTM next-generation transceiver for optical and copper, CXL-over-optics featuring the Samtec FireFlyTM, and other Samtec high-performance PAM4 and PCIe 6.0 solutions.
Samtec’s world-renowned SI team has been examining the challenges of getting 224 Gbps design right and developing product and technology solutions. We stand ready to help you be successful with all of your designs, all the way up to 224 Gbps.
OIF Booth #1323 – OIF Interoperability Demonstration
Samtec products will also be featured the OIF Interop Demo in the OIF Booth #1323 on the show floor. The demonstrations will highlight the collaborative efforts of system vendors, component vendors and test equipment vendors, emphasizing their contributions to advancing technology adoption in both present and future networks.
112G and 224G CEI Interoperability Demos
OIF is advancing its pioneering efforts in interoperability with the expansion of its industry-first demonstration of 224G CEI multi-vendor interoperability, the electrical interface for future optical solutions. Additionally, OIF’s demonstration of a 112G CEI Linear ecosystem has broadened, driven by the interoperability of multivendor SerDes links with multi-vendor LPOs, supported by test and measurement validation at each stage of the link.
Please download the Samtec OIF PLL Demo eBrochure for additional information.
CEI-224G LR Demo
Samtec Si-Fly™ HD is the industry’s highest-density on-package or ASIC-adjacent cable system. Supporting 207 DPs/in2, Si-Fly HD features Samtec Flyover® Cable Technology and Eye Speed® AIR™ hyper low skew 33 AWG twinax cable.
CEI-224G VSR Demo
Samtec’s Block Chain ISI Evaluation Board offers 12 variable length signal paths with known loss profiles beyond 70 GHz. When combined with Samtec’s Bulls Eye® High-Performance Test Systems, the combined solution offers an easy-to-use test platform for evaluating and demonstrating 224 Gbps PAM4 signal performance.
CEI-112G Linear Demo
Samtec’s Linear Direct Drive Evaluation Board offers a proof-of-concept for EO and OE conversions. Speeds of 112 Gbps PAM4 without the use of DSP or other co-packaged solutions are possible. It uses the latest 4×112 Gbps PAM4 laser drivers and VCSELs on the transmit path. Photo diodes and TIAs are used on the receive path.
Macom Booth #3025 – PCIe-over-Optics Static Display
Samtec’s PCUO Series runs PCIe® 3.0 (8 GT/s)and 4.0 (16 GT/s) physical layer signals via our patented optical FireFly™ system. PCIe® 5.0 (32 GT/s) solutions are in development. PCUO supports CXL™ and PCIe® protocols. See a sample at OFC in Macom Booth #3025.
