Samtec will be demonstrating next-gen, high-performance optical and copper interconnect solutions at the upcoming OFC 2024 Exhibition at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA March 26-28, 2024.
OFC will also host the OIF Interoperability Demo. Samtec is one of 47 member company participants in the OIF booth, which will spotlight groundbreaking interoperable solutions in 800ZR, 400ZR and OpenZR+ optics; Energy Efficient Interfaces (EEI) & Co-Packaging; 112G and 224G Common Electrical I/O (CEI); and Common Management Interface Specification (CMIS) implementations.
Samtec Networking Solutions at OFC
Well suited for use in high-performance designs such as AI/high-performance computing, medical, test & measurement, and FPGA applications, Samtec high-speed interconnects support signals up to 224 Gbps PAM4. Please download the Samtec OIF PLL Demo eBrochure for additional information.
Visit Samtec Booth #4625 to see demos that incorporate the new 224 Gbps PAM4 Si-Fly™ HD, Samtec HaloTM optical transceivers, CXL-over-optics, and more. In addition, other Samtec high-performance PAM4 and PCIe 6.0 solutions wil lalso be highighted.
OIF Interoperability Demo
OIF will host a record-setting 47 member companies showcasing interoperable solutions targeting next-generation data center networking, AI/ML, and disaggregation applications. Check it our in the OIF Booth #1323 at OFC 2024.
Samtec’s products will be included in the CEI demonstrations. Specifically, the 224G long-range demo, 224G very-short-range demo, and 112G linear demo will feature Samtec solutions.
CEI-224G LR Demo
Samtec Si-Fly™ HD is the industry’s highest-density on-package or ASIC-adjacent cable system. Supporting 207 DPs/in2, Si-Fly HD features Samtec Flyover® Cable Technology and Eye Speed® AIR™ hyper low skew 33 AWG twinax cable.
CEI-224G VSR Demo
Samtec’s Block Chain ISI Evaluation Board offers 12 variable length signal paths with known loss profiles beyond 70 GHz. When combined with Samtec’s Bulls Eye® High-Performance Test Systems, the combined solution offers an easy-to-use test platform for evaluating and demonstrating 224 Gbps PAM4 signal performance.
CEI-112G Linear Demo
Samtec’s Linear Direct Drive Evaluation Board offers a proof-of-concept for EO and OE conversions. Speeds of 112 Gbps PAM4 without the use of DSP or other co-packaged solutions are possible. It uses the latest 4×112 Gbps PAM4 laser drivers and VCSELs on the transmit path. The receive path uses photo diodes and TIAs.
