Webinar – Mid-Board Optical Transceivers for Embedded Applications

Samtec—an industry leader in mid-board optical transceiver solutions—takes a deep dive into the real-world considerations engineers and designers face when building next-gen systems. From the chip to chip, board to board, and system to system, Samtec’s solutions ensure reliable signal integrity over extended distances across multiple application layers.

This webinar explores the design tradeoffs and innovation opportunities surrounding next-gen mid-board optical transceivers, including:

• Low Power Solutions & Compact Form Factor

  Achieve greater power savings with the combination of minimal power usage modules and high-density capability while maintaining thermal efficiency and system-level energy conservation along with simplified PCB design.

• High-Performance Versatility

  Enable scalable bandwidth by taking your connection off-board—up to 28 Gbps per lane, with a roadmap to 112 Gbps PAM4 over optical cables, or cost-optimized copper solutions when distance allows.

• Integrated Thermal Management

  Tackle thermal challenges head-on with integral heat sinks and through-board cooling options designed to perform in harsh environments and across broad temperature ranges.

The shift to optical is not just about speed—it is about smarter system design. Whether you are building for AI, data center, aerospace, or industrial applications, the right optical solution for a specific application is key.

The one-hour online webinar takes place on Thursday, July 31, 2025, at 10:00 AM CDT. Even if you are unable to attend the live session, please be sure to register so we can send you a link to the recording when it is complete.
