TRANSCEIVER SOLUTIONS

MID-BOARD OPTICAL TRANSCEIVERS


Samtec is the industry-leading provider of mid-board optical transceiver solutions. This growing and comprehensive family of products provides reliable signal integrity over an extended distance in chip-to-chip, board-to-board, on-board and system-to-system connectivity. Optical products are offered with Samtec’s Sudden Service® - full engineering support, online tools and a service attitude that is unmatched.

Low Power
Solution


Minimal power usage per module in a small footprint allows for high-density placement close to the IC for significant power savings in the overall system.

Small
Form Factor


Flexibility of copper and optical using the same micro connector allows for increased density, simplified PCB and reduced power dissipation.

High-Performance
Versatility


Data connection is taken "off board" for up to 28 Gbps per lane with a path to 112 Gbps PAM4 via optical cable at greater distances - or copper for cost optimization.

Integrated
Thermal Management


Variety of integral heat sinks or through-the-board cooling provides optimal thermal control for harsh environments and wide temperature ranges.
