"Do you know how FAST you were going?!?" That question strikes fear in almost all teenage drivers. The resulting ticket dashes any hope of a fun weekend. Plus, what happens when the parents find out?? No!!! Meanwhile, embedded and optical engineers may wonder the same thing. "PCIe 3.0 only gets to 8 GT/s? I need more speed!" So what's the answer? PCIe 4.0 over fiber solutions, of course. Why PCIe 4.0 Over Fiber? Any number high-performance, embedded applications are looking for … [Read more...]
New PCIe Gen 4 Over-Fiber Adapter Card
With the recent introduction of PCIe® Gen 4 servers and engineering work stations, designers require faster optical links for networking and accelerator interfaces. Samtec’s new PCIe Gen 4 adapter card doubles the speed over the Gen 3 card and easily plugs into any PCIe slot. Giri Tumu, Samtec’s Optics Application Engineer, walks us through a live demonstration of our latest Gen 4 optical PCIe product. The demo includes a PCIe Gen 4 server and a Non-Disruptive Migration (NDM) storage end … [Read more...]
FireFly Technology Enables Bandwidth in CERN LHC
UCLA's Maxx Tepper gives us a brief overview of the Ocean High-Throughput processor to be used in the upgrade of the real-time event selection system of the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The board incorporates Samtec FireFly™ optical cable assemblies. The project is part of the research program of the UCLA Physics and Astronomy Department, supported by the National Science Foundation. The board receives data from 500 detectors and reconstructs particle … [Read more...]

Samtec Technical Expert Speaks at PCI-SIG Fall Virtual DevCon
Another event popular in the tech event circuit is PCI-SIG® DevCon. While DevCon events are usually in-person around the globe, this year, like so many others events, PCI-SIG DevCon is going virtual. PCI-SIG DevCons are members-driven events that provide an opportunity to learn directly from the industry’s PCIe® experts. Attendees can participate in technical trainings to gain best practices. The PCI-SIG Fall Virtual DevCon includes technical presentations from PCI-SIG Workgroup Chairs … [Read more...]
Samtec Technologists to Present at EDI CON Online 2020
EDI CON Online: Where High Frequency Meets High Speed The tagline of the event stays the same in 2020. Why mess with a good thing? Why change what is working? As with last year, EDI CON Online aims to bring RF, microwave, EMC/EMI, high-speed digital design and system integrator technologists together virtually. Why? For networking, training and learning opportunities in latest high speed and high frequency applications. EDI CON Online was so successful last year, they have expanded … [Read more...]
Optical Data Interconnect (ODI) Ecosystem Solutions Continues to Expand
Next-gen, high-performance Test and Measurement platforms support faster data rates than current solutions. Prevailing devices communicate over copper interfaces in standard form factors and traditional bench instrument applications. At increased data rates, signal integrity concerns over copper cable assemblies and connectors limit the reach and interoperability of systems. The new Optical Data Interface (ODI) is a new high-speed interface standard for advanced instrumentation and embedded … [Read more...]
Salt Fog Resistant Optical Modules For Mil/Aero
Data centers drive volume use for modern optical transceivers. These have favorable conditions for the optics, with low humidity and tightly controlled temperatures, which in turn has enabled a low-cost design approach for the subcomponents used in modern devices. The Mil/Aero market has very different environmental requirements with aggressive conditions such as sand/dust, salt fog and even continuous operation in 100% humidity. These conditions have historically led to the use of the … [Read more...]
OFC 2020: The Show Must Go On
Since we missed OFC 2020 and the opportunity to meet with our customers and blog readers in person, we decided to bring the show to you. We had an incredible booth planned with six live product demonstrations and multiple new product introductions. OFC has always been the single best place in the optics industry to meet with customers and partners, address the technical challenges with next generation systems, and demonstrate Samtec’s industry leadership. This time we had planned to … [Read more...]
Samtec Exhibits at Embedded World 2020
The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus is affecting many aspects of life. COVID-19 has even affected the electronic components trade show industry. In recent weeks, the Mobile World Congress, electronica Shanghai and other events have been canceled. Other events, like next week's Embedded World 2020, are still on. However, many exhibitors are choosing not to attend trade shows out of caution. For Embedded World 2020 specifically, the local Samtec team will be at the show in … [Read more...]
