Cable assemblies

Cable assembly mounts next to high-speed ICs

April 29, 2025 By Martin Rowe Leave a Comment

The Si-Fly cable assembly from Samtec lets you mount connectors to a board while going under cooling components. High-speed digital ICs such as microprocessors, GPUs, ASICs, and electrical-to-optical converters need clean signals, and they generate lots of heat. To minimize the PCB traces where signals travel, engineers need to mount cables as close to the […]

How twin axial cable assemblies support high-performance computing for AI/ML systems

July 10, 2024 By Jeff Shepard Leave a Comment

The high-performance computing platforms used for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in hyperscale data centers need high-speed interconnects like 112 Gbps PAM 4 and faster inside the servers. High-speed interconnects are also required between the servers and storage devices. Twin axial (Twinax) cable assemblies are one way to address those needs. This article […]

Connector family handles 224 Gb/sec digital signals

June 7, 2023 By Martin Rowe Leave a Comment

A set of five connectors that connect board-to-board, board-to-backplane, and board-to-cable connections address signal-integrity issues not present at lower data rates. Every time digital data streams make a speed jump, new problems in physics emerge that did not exist at lower speeds. Now that 224 Gb/sec PAM4 links are in development, engineers must deal with […]
