Modern weapons and munitions make the most of the latest technology. The driving goal of modern munition design is precision, so that military forces may use the minimum possible force to … [Read more...]
112 Gbps PAM4 Rack-to-Rack Interconnect With Remarkable Results
Samtec Flyover® Twinax Cable assemblies allow designers to extend signal reach and density, enabling 112 Gbps PAM4 performance. Samtec Flyover systems are commonly used in mid-board applications, with a cable assembly connector located next to the chip. The signal path is directed to the front or back panel. Samtec Flyover also allows designers to go from one board to another as a flexible backplane architecture within a rack, and it can be used as a rack-to-rack interconnect. For … [Read more...]
