As data rates increase, trace lengths on PCBs decrease. Samtec's high-speed, Flyover® cable assemblies simplify PCB design and limit signal degradation in high data rate applications. The NovaRay® I/O SI Evaluation Kits provides system designers and SI engineers an easy-to-use solution for testing the NovaRay® I/O 112 Gbps PAM4 Panel Mount Cable System or the NovaRay® I/O Rugged 38999 Panel Mount Cable System.

The NovaRay® I/O Flyover® SI Evaluation Kit (REF-224735-X.XX-XX) routes sixteen high-speed differential pairs through high-precision RF connectors, 0.80 mm NovaRay® Extreme Density & Performance Terminals for NVAC Series, 0.80 mm NovaRay® Extreme Density & Performance Socket Cable Assemblies and finally a NovaRay® I/O Extreme Performance Cable Assembly via the front panel.

The NovaRay® I/O Flyover® Rugged 38999 SI Evaluation Kit (REF-232667-X.XX-XX) routes sixteen high-speed differential pairs through high-precision RF connectors, 0.80 mm NovaRay® Extreme Density & Performance Terminals for NVAC Series, NovaRay® I/O Rugged 38999 Panel Mount Cable Assemblies and finally a NovaRay® I/O Rugged 38999 I/O Cable Assembly via the front panel.
