Samtec unveiled the FireFly Micro Flyover System – an interconnect system that gives the designer a choice of using either micro footprint optical or copper interconnects to meet high data rate requirements. The system utilises low-cost copper cables or high-performance active optical engines to achieve data rates up to 28 Gbps.
The FireFly active optical cable assembly uses the proven 850 nm VCSEL array and multi-mode fibre technology, and contains all the necessary controls to ensure the optical engine provides maximum performance with minimum power dissipation.
The FireFly copper cable assembly features Samtec’s AWG #38 ribbon coax cable used extensively for existing high-speed copper cable assemblies, which allows for seamless integration of new designs with existing designs. The two-piece connector system mates with both cable assemblies, making it easy to upgrade from copper to optical when that level of performance is required.
