7 Reasons To Visit Samtec At DesignCon (Number 5 Will Blow Your Mind)
DesignCon 2017 is next week in San Jose, California. If you're going to be there, here are 7 reasons to visit us at booth 717. They're all good reasons, and #5 is really cool, but it may not actually blow your mind. Sorry. Like me, you've probably seen the "sponsored articles" at the bottom of other websites. I read some research that people like to read lists, and making some kind of outlandish prediction about one of the items further improves SEO. So I … [Read more...]

Samtec AIMs for Advances in Silicon Photonics
Data rates continue to increase unfettered. While the ubiquitous demand for more bandwidth seems to have no end, silicon as a semiconductor has practical limitations in the data rates it can support. One possible solution for this challenge is silicon photonics. The technology uses silicon as a laser for data transmission between ICs, but leverages the existing semiconductor fab techniques for mass production. What is Silicon Photonics? Silicon photonics as a … [Read more...]
New ETUO Series Extends FireFly™ Temperature Range
Samtec's FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™ continues to gain industry acceptance in mid-board copper and optical cable assembly systems. The ECUO series can be found in a number of applications requiring standard temperature ranges. The popularity of ECUO has established a need for an extended temperature version of the FireFly™ Active Optical Cable Assemblies. In response, Samtec recently released the ETUO series. Key ETUO Features The ETUO series shares the core … [Read more...]
Samtec FireFly™ PCIe® Optical Flyover Cable Assembly Fully Supports PCIe 4.0
PCIe 4.0 is just around the corner in 2017, at least according to the leading computer processor vendors. In recent months, both Intel and AMD have hinted at plans for PCIe 4.0 in future platforms. This promotes the advantages of the new standard with hopes of a wider range of applications. Here is a quick review of some of PCIe 4.0 advantages: Double the bandwidth over PCIe 3.0 from 8 GTps to 16 GTpsEnhanced power efficiencyFull backwards compatibility with previous … [Read more...]
FireFly™ Finds a Home in PCIe Expansion Cards
PCI Express continues to grow as the de facto I/O expansion bus in a number of embedded computing applications. The flexibility of the PCIe interface and the data rates it supports have spawned a number of standard PCB form factors adopted in many different applications. A common functionality added to many PCIe form factor expansion cards is optical networking. While industry standard active optical cables target typical datacom and telecom applications, a variety of high-speed I/O … [Read more...]
