Samtec Practical Cable Management for High-Data-Rate Systems
by Admin on 08-13-2025 at 6:00 am

Samtec cable management SemiWiki

According to a recent Samtec whitepaper, in high-data-rate (HDR) architectures, where signals traverse tens to hundreds of gigabits per second, “cable management” isn’t a housekeeping chore, it’s a first-order design variable. The mechanical path a cable takes directly influences channel loss, crosstalk, reliability,
