What do the QSFP-DD800 MSA and VITA 57 have in common? Fair question. One focuses on defining the next-gen pluggable form factors while the other complements FPGA mezzanine applications. So what is the link? Samtec, of course! Samtec participates in many Industry Standards to develop commonality is specific applications. QSFP-DD800 and VITA 57 are but two examples. QSFP-DD800 MSA: New HW Spec QSFP28. QSFP-DD. QSFP-DD800. It seems the Multi Source Agreements (MSAs) for Quad Small … [Read more...]
Samtec Joins Open Eye and QSFP-DD800 MSAs
Increasing data demand requires faster data rates across the data center. This is especially true of the transceivers and pluggable cages and modules common to these applications. One company can't do it alone. MSAs continue to proliferate as component manufacturers, equipment providers and interested third parties collaborate to speed industry adoption. Samtec has recently joined two new MSAs: QSFP-DD800 and Open Eye. Both efforts will contribute to next-gen, high-speed copper and … [Read more...]
