High-Speed Backplane Systems
High-speed, high-density backplane systems include ExaMAX® and XCede® HD in a variety of pair and column counts. ExaMAX® enables to 56 Gbps performance and allows designers the option to optimize density or minimize board layer count. XCede® HD is a small form factor system with a modular design for significant space savings and flexibility.

Long gone are the days of simply selling a selling a part, pins in plastic if you will. Between environmental standards, qualification testing, UL ratings, and thermal models; customers have come to expect information about the products they purchase as well. Thermal modeling is ...
This was the third and final BIOMEDevice that Samtec participated in this year, and we wrapped it up with a bang. Samtec displayed a wide range of its products at its booth all the while presenting in panel discussion and leading a Lunch and Learn. Panel Discussion Steve Groothui...
A popular demonstration at Super Computing 2019 (SC19) was a collaboration between Samtec and eSilicon that emulates next generation data center architectures for typical 19 inch rack-mount applications. In the video above, Ralph Page, Systems Architect at Samtec, walks us throug...
SC19 has come and gone. Anticipation for SC20 in Atlanta is already building. Before we look ahead, what were some highlights from SC19? AI is Everywhere AI is affecting all aspects of life. At SC19, technical presentations showed how AI and HPC are helping researchers cure heart...
In November, we wrapped up our technical debt cleanup, upgraded several of our back-end APIs, and rolled out several small user-experience updates throughout Samtec.com. These updates will pave the way for some exciting new applications and e-e-commerce features in 2020. Here are...
