Samtec, Inc., the connector industry service leader, will demonstrate next-generation, high-performance optical and copper interconnect solutions at the upcoming OCP Global Summit, the premier event for the Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP) showcases cutting-edge advancements in open hardware and software.

Held in San Jose, CA (October 15-17, 2024), the OCP Global Summit emphasizes a commitment to fostering innovation that moves beyond theoretical discussions and results in real-world solutions. Samtec works closely with its customers and partners to bring innovative interconnect solutions to market that meet specific real-world needs. For example, this year at the OCP Global Summit, Samtec will debut the FireFlyTM OCP OAI EXP Module, which features 16 FireFly optical transceivers with 1.6 Gbps aggregate throughput. The FireFly module is protocol agnostic, including support for Ethernet, PCIe, and CXL over optics. It typically requires half the power of MSA style optics, and a full OAI system design could accommodate up to 8 FireFly OAI EXP Module cards.

The FireFly OCP OAI EXP Module also incorporates enabling technology from US Conec, whose very small form factor (VSFF) MMC optical connectors allow Samtec to achieve the fiber density required for the OCP card form factor. US Conec’s DirectConecTM push-pull boot technology provides effortless connector insertion and extraction in the densest environments.

“US Conec’s MMC technology brings unparalleled optical density to the FireFly OCP OAI EXP Module,” said Tom Mitcheltree, Advanced Technology Manager at US Conec. “With the integration of the MMC connector platform into Samtec’s FireFly high density connectivity solution, our collaboration will bring high-quality, innovative solutions to the datacenter market.”

In booth #A3, Samtec will be demonstrating high-speed, high-density interconnects that are well suited for use in datacenters, AI/high-performance computing, and telecom/edge applications up to 224 Gbps. In addition to the FireFly OCP OAI EXP Module with MMC connectivity, products and demonstrations featured include FireFly optical transceivers, the new Si-FLY® HD, HaloTM next-gen 56 Gbps optical system for optical or copper interconnects, CXL over optics, and PCIe.
