Samtec’s Flyover® cable systems are designed to get signals off the PCB in order to improve signal integrity, increase design flexibility, and optimize thermal performance. These products route high-speed signals through low-loss, low-skew twinax cable. They operate across distances that can be up to several feet long while removing the need for clock data recovery circuits (CDRs) or retimers. In a recently published white paper, Samtec Senior Field Applications Engineer, Anthony Fellbaum, … [Read more...]
New High-Speed Cable Guide
Who doesn’t love a care package? Open a box from someone you know and find a surprise inside.
