Samtec will bring on show its high-performance interconnect solutions and enabling technologies that support data rates up to 448Gbps and signals up to 130GHz at DesignCon 2026 in Santa Clara, US, February 25-26. Samtec will also celebrate 50 years of Sudden Service at the show, at its booth #939. In-booth engineering experts can help attendees find the optimal interconnect solution, whether it is copper or optics, connectors, cable systems, or discrete wire, RF or digital signals operating at 56Gbps, 112Gbps, 224Gbps, or 448Gbps.
Main highlights of Samtec’s CPX offerings include co-packaged copper (CPC) and co-packaged optics (CPO), including active demonstrations of Si-Fly HD CPC connectors operating at 224Gbps. Other booth demonstrations include the new Si-Fly backplane system demonstration that supports 224 Gbps signals. A 112 Gbps active optics demonstration incorporates Samtec’s FireFly and new Halo products.
Samtec’s distinctive orange Nitrowave RF cable is part of the new Bulls Eye BE71A test assembly for 224Gbps PAM4 SERDES as well as the new Bulls Eye BE130 test assembly running 448Gbps differential signals for test channels.
Samtec also plans to show its advancements in material science with SureCoat ultra-rugged coatings for high temperatures and harsh environments.
