112 Gbps Samtec Flyover™ Demo Samtec’s Ralph Page walks us through a live demonstration of a Samtec Flyover™ system which enables 112 Gbps PAM4 performance. The Credo CDR generates two ports of 31-bit PRBS data at 112 Gbps PAM4 data rates. The signal travels from the Credo Pelican II SERDES test board through precision RF cable […]

Rearchitected OCP Wedge Switch Using Samtec Flyover™
In this video from SC18, Jignesh Shah of Samtec’s High Speed Connectivity Group walks us through a demonstration of a rearchitected Open Compute Project (OCP) wedge switch. By rearchitected we mean it utilizes Samtec Flyover™ high-speed cable assemblies to achieve next gen speeds by routing signals via ultra-low skew twinax cable instead of through the PCB, […]
New Signal, Power Edge Card Connector
The HSEC8 series, a high-speed edge card socket on .8 mm pitch, is our most popular edge card connector, and one of our biggest selling products series. New Signal, Power Card Edge Connector A recently released option on the HSEC8 is a signal, power card edge combo connector. The HSEC8-PV is available with one or […]
Top 10 Most Popular Connector Blogs Of 2018
I like end-of-the-year top 10 lists. I just read the top 10 movies of 2018 (at the box office) and five of them were Marvel movies. Retrievers are the perenniel #1 most popular breed of dog. As a volleyball junkie here’s my top VB play of the year (although I am a bit biased, Kenzie […]
Advantages of Power / Signal Combo Connectors
A popular interconnect solution, especially with our customers in the industrial sector, is power / signal combination (“combo”) connectors. Of course these are mated connector sets that incorporate both signal and power pins in the same connector system. Designers use these power / signal combo connectors for a variety of reasons, including: It’s usually less […]
56 Gbps, 5 Meter Backplane Cable Assembly Demo
A joint demonstration between Samtec and eSilicon — an eSilicon 7 nm 56 Gbps DSP SerDes over a Samtec 5 meter ExaMAX® backplane cable assembly — caught a lot of attention at SC18. The demo showed a true long-reach capability with a high-performance, flexible, easy-to-configure SerDes that targets common data center standards and data rates. […]
Increasing Broadband Interconnect Characterization
Samtec’s Gustavo Blando recently presented “Increasing Broadband Interconnect Characterization” at EDI CON 2018 in Santa Clara, California. A video of the workshop is above, and below is Gus’s summary of his presentation. VNA measurements are the backbone of any SI analysis, both for correlation and basic interconnect understanding. As bit rate increases and specs tighten, […]
Shielded Interconnects For Industrial Applications
Samtec continues to expand its line of shielded interconnects, both board-to-board and cable-to-board systems. These are used in a variety of industries and applications, one being industrial equipment. Shielded interconnects are a good thing because EMI is a four-letter word for most designers. I do and don’t mean that literally, although I do know there […]
Micro Rugged Interconnect Solutions
One of Samtec’s most popular product niches is Micro / Rugged Interconnects. Designers don’t usually think of micro pitch connectors as being rugged, as being able to handle high mating cycles, or as having robust mechanical strength on the PCB, or with strong retention of mated connector sets. Samtec has a complete line of micro […]
High Speed Interconnect Demos At Electronica 2018
Samtec’s full line of high speed interconnect products was on display and in demonstrations at Electronica 2018. Focus products included high speed mezzanine high speed cable assemblies high speed backplane connectors active optical cable assemblies Two of the demos that caught a lot of attention were the 28 G Product Demonstrator and the REFLEX CES Sargon […]
