Fiber in the Box!

Fiber optic links have been a mainstay media in the telecommunications industry for many years. Fiber offers a number of specific advantages over copper interfaces, including: Much-reduced attenuation and signal distortion over long distances Greatly increased bandwidth Immunity from EMI/ESD Much-reduced cable bulk and weight Reduced latency No electrical shock hazard or ground loop potentialRead More

High-Performance Computers Offer Interconnect Opportunities

March 5, 2013 – Intense competition between countries continues to push high-performance computer technology to new levels. Advanced machines can fall from the leading edge to obsolescence in as little as three years. So what are the challenges that face designers of supercomputers today? Not surprisingly, many are very similar to those that exist in commercial computing equipment: packaging density, increasing bandwidth, power, and thermal management.

Porosity: Real World Concerns

March 5, 2013 – Pore corrosion is time-dependent and porosity has caused field problems in as little as a few weeks or as long as years down the line, depending on the application environment and performance requirements. Max Peel of Contech Research explains the causes and concerns of porosity, and his cohort Dr. Bob returns next month with part two of this tutorial.
