Samtec’s new Halo™ optical transceiver was featured in a live product demonstration at SC24. It was one of six demos (including a 224 Gbps PAM4 Flyover cable system and a new 1.6 Tbps OCP OAI EXP Module), and it garnered a lot of attention. In the video above, Samtec’s Jonathan Sprigler walks us through the…
Oh great, it’s another FMC-related blog from Samtec. I get why many Samtec blog readers may think that. VITA 57.1 FMC and VITA 57.4 FMC+ are not new or necessarily “newsworthy,” per se. On the other hand, that’s the beauty of FMC and FMC+. Both have stood the test of time. Nearly every FPGA/RFSoC evaluation…
I recently had the opportunity to dig into a few details on cable skew with Brandon Gore, PhD, Principal Technologist and Director at Samtec. Below are highlights from the discussion. As always, if you have questions on this topic, please feel free to reach out to [email protected]. LK: What are the types of cable intrapair…
High-performance computers, data centers, artificial intelligence, machine learning, quantum computing, and sustainability were all front and center at SC24. One of the live product demonstrations at SC24 in the Samtec booth featured a Samtec Si-Fly® HD mid-board cable system operating at 224 Gbps PAM4, with excellent performance across one meter of cable. Samtec’s Ralph Page…
Servers form vital parts of today’s datacom infrastructure, but their use is constantly expanding beyond what might be considered the “traditional” view of data centers with their racks of computers. Cloud computing is now part of everyday life, from smartphones to powerful business machines. The cloud offers the opportunity to quickly expand storage and computing…
PCIe® 7.0 is a scalable interconnect solution for data-intensive markets that aims to double the data rate of PCIe 6.0. It’s designed to meet the high bandwidth demands of applications such as artificial intelligence, high-performance computing (HPC), machine learning, and data centers. PCIe 7.0 is targeted for member release in 2025. At ECOC 2024, Samtec presented a…
embedded world is one of the key events in the embedded computing calendar. The core event in Germany every year draws attendees from around the globe. Annual regional events in China, India and other locations draw large crowds as well. North America has been curiously absent. No more. Next week (October 8-10, 2024), the embedded…
According to Guinness World Records, the longest lasting rainbow observation was 8 hours and 58 minutes on November 30, 2017. It was seen from the Chinese Culture University campus in Taiwan, which is located on a mountainside with several elevated areas allowing for continuous observation of the rainbow as its angle changed with the sun’s…
“Why do you accelerate so fast?” In my youth, I had that question posed to me too many times by nice police officers. There is no right answer to that question. I may have thought, “I wanted to see how fast my car could go.” But you can’t tell the nice police officer that, right?…
Samtec’s new product development focuses on high-performance, high-data-rate connector systems. For example, we have six product families rated at 112 Gbps PAM4, and we’re already demonstrating 224 G systems. But does your system require those data rates? Chances are it doesn’t. You are likely more concerned about identifying reliable, cost-effective board-to-board connectors or cable assemblies….
