Live Product Demonstrations

If you visit the Samtec virtual booth you can view brief videos of three impressive live product demonstrations, all showing Samtec interconnects running at 112 Gbps PAM4.
The first is a complex signal path that is approximately 2.5 meters in length, with eight different connector interfaces, driven by an Alphawave 112 Gbps test SERDES. The total loss for the entire signal path is 30 dB, with a BER of e-18, pre-FEC.
The second is another 112 Gbps PAM4 demo, this time running through our extreme density NovaRay® array system, and Bulls Eye® 70 GHz test point system, again, with outstanding results.
The final demo again utilizes the Alphawave 1121 Gbps PAM 4 test SERDES and the AcceleRate® HP micro-pitch, high-density connector system.
