This live product demonstration from DesignCon 2022 shows a Rohde and Schwarz ZNA 43 Vector Network Analyzer testing a Samtec NovaRay® I/O front-panel cable system, with excellent results. NovaRay I/O emulates ASIC to front-panel applications. The "ASIC" -- in this case, the ZNA 43 -- delivers signals to a Samtec NovaRay® Flyover® cable assembly, which then travel through 6" of Eye Speed® Twinax Low Skew twinax, to a NovaRay I/O connector/cable system. This assembly also includes our NovaRay … [Read more...]
New 112 Gbps PAM4 Mid-Board Flyover Cable Solution
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...]
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...]
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...]
Immersion Cooling or Convection? Connectors Exhibit Outstanding Performance In Both Cases
One of Samtec’s many live product demonstrations at OFC 2022 shows high-performance copper and optical cable assemblies performing equally well, whether in immersion cooling or in typical convection environments. Ralph Page, Systems Architect at Samtec, explains the setup and results of this incredibly popular demo. The demo consists of two identical Samtec product demonstration boards. They both incorporate a variety of high-speed interconnect systems, including copper-based Samtec … [Read more...]
Cable Backplane + META-DX1 Ethernet PHY= Great Performance at 3 Meters, 56 Gbps
Ralph Page, Systems Architect at Samtec, walks us through a live product demonstration combining Microchip’s META-DX1 family of Ethernet PHYs with Samtec ExaMAX® backplane cable systems. Samtec ExaMAX backplane cable systems improve signal integrity and routability using Samtec Flyover® high-speed cable technology, which routes signals above a lossy PCB using Eye Speed® co-extruded, ultra-low skew twinax for improved bandwidth and reach. The Microchip® META-DX1 is a 1.2 Terabit … [Read more...]
Outstanding Performance: Microchip META-DX1 Ethernet PHY, Front Panel QSFP-DD
Industry leading ICs, like the Microchip® META-DX1, combined with products like Samtec’s FQSFP-DD cable solutions, provide an ideal proof-of-concept for front panel QSFP-DD data center communication system architectures. META-DX1 is a 1.2 Terabit Ethernet PHY with long reach 56G PAM4 SerDes, and features such as MACsec encryption, FlexE, and nanosecond-level PTP timestamping accuracy. With support for Ethernet rates from 1 to 400 GE, 48 Serdes, and integrated crosspoint, META-DX1 enables a … [Read more...]
