In this video from DesignCon 2022, Keith Guetig, High-Speed Product Manager at Samtec, walks us through a live demonstration of a new Samtec high-speed cable system, coupled with new Xilinx advanced silicon, showing a 112 Gbps PAM4 system with outstanding performance. This configuration shows how Samtec Flyover® cable assemblies can be used in mid-board applications. Actually, Samtec Flyover® cable systems can be used in mid-board, mid-board to front panel, mid-board to back panel, and … [Read more...]
Precision RF and European Microwave Week
It is easy for many of us to take connectivity for granted. With Bluetooth, WiFi, and the latest 5G wireless technology, we are having to use fewer connectors in everyday life. Coaxial or Radio Frequency (RF) connectors are not as common now as they were a generation ago, and yet with the demand for high-speed wireless communications growing relentlessly, the world of precision RF connectors is evolving rapidly. With demand growing for higher frequencies and greater data … [Read more...]
New 12G-SDI Products, RF Launches, Outstanding Service and Support: NAB 2022
NAB is back and in-person, and Samtec is back at NAB. It's difficult to describe everything at the NAB Show (National Association of Broadcasters). I'll attempt to summarize it by saying that NAB is a monumental explosion of the latest broadcast products, solutions, equipment, and technologies. Samtec’s extensive portfolio of high-performance interconnector solutions are ideal for supporting resolution, frame rate, density and latency demands of the broadcast video market. Interconnect … [Read more...]
Six New 112 G Connector Systems Is The Coolest Demo At DesignCon (IMHO)
This live demonstration from DesignCon 2022 shows six of Samtec's 112 Gbps PAM4 connector systems. It includes board-to-board connector sets, as well as two Samtec Flyover® cable systems. One is a mid-board to cable backplane configuration, and the other is mid-board to front panel. These cable systems are emulating real-world data center system architectures. Each board has four Alphawave AlphaCORE Multi-Standard SerDes. For each connector set, the Alphawave SerDes is transmitting 112 Gbps … [Read more...]

Read on to see some of the highlights from our DesignCon 2022 Review, or head to our DesignCon Landing Page to deep dive any of the topics we presented. From Start to Finish Our Welcome Reception kick off was a great event that hosted customers, … [Read more...]
Instrumentation & The Chocolate Factory
There’s an iconic episode of the I Love Lucy Show where Lucy and Ethel are working at a chocolate factory. They’ve been tasked with wrapping individual pieces of candy as they come out on a conveyor belt and if one gets through unwrapped then they are fired. Things quickly get out of hand as the candy starts coming out on the belt faster and faster. So of course, in order to keep up, Lucy and Ethel begin eating the candy and hiding it in their uniforms. Today there are many solutions … [Read more...]
PECFF AI Hardware System Architecture With New Cable Backplane
This live product demonstration from OFC 2022 emulates real-world AI system architectures, based on the PECFF form factor. It incorporates a PECFF backplane with PECFF add-in-cards. Matt Burns, Technical Marketing Manager at Samtec, walks us through the demonstration. He explains that we're comparing the performance of two backplane architectures. The first is a traditional rigid PCB backplane, with Samtec HSEC6-DV edge card connectors interfacing with the PECFF add-in … [Read more...]
Samtec Abandons Connector Industry to Focus on Selling Stuffed Tigers
Samtec has been selling connectors since 1976, and we've been through some ups and downs along the way, but nothing like the last few years, and well... it's time for a big change. Putting aside the fact that Samtec has built itself to nearly $1 billion in annual revenue, with sales being at an all-time high, and the fact that we just made a key acquisition of an optics company, among several other huge happenings inside Samtec walls, we just think there are better opportunities out … [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...]
Rugged Optical Transceivers For Military, Aerospace, Industrial Applications
