December 19, 2019 | TE ConnectivityEstimated reading time: 1 minute
TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in innovative connectivity solutions for high-speed computing and networking applications, will showcase a broad range of industry-leading high-speed data communications connectivity solutions at the DesignCon 2020 expo on Jan. 28-30, 2020, to be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California. TE offers a vast spectrum of powerful, ultra-compact solutions engineered to help optimize the latest data center innovations, delivering the speed, scalability, space-savings, improved thermals, power and reach that may be needed in an industry moving toward higher data rates.
TE's featured live demos will include:
- Octal Small Form-Factor Pluggable (OSFP), Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density (QSFP-DD), Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP), Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density (SFP-DD), thermal bridge and other high-speed input/output (I/O) solutions for thermal management, disaggregation, density, improved channels, co-packaging, 5G and power delivery.
- Sliver internal connectors and cable assemblies, which have not only received industry recognition, but have been identified as the standard product across several industry forums and organizations like COBO, Gen-Z Consortium, EDSFF and Open Compute Project (OCP) for today and next-gen server and storage designs.
- Industry-leading STRADA Whisper high speed backplane connectors, with a continuously expanding range of configurations including direct plug orthogonal, mezzanine and cables all delivering at 56 Gbps, 112 Gbps and beyond.
- ERFV coax connectors, enabling next-generation 5G wireless designs by implementing antenna and radio board-to-board and board-to-filter connections at a lower cost with a one-piece design.
Nathan Tracy, TE Connectivity technologist and industry standards manager and OIF president, will be a guest speaker at the 112G OIF panel. The panel, titled "Enabling New Architectures: An Update on OIF's CEI-112G Electrical Interfaces," will be held Wednesday, January 28 at 3:45 p.m.

SEMICON West: The Path to a $1 Trillion Future
10/14/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007After more than 50 years in San Francisco, SEMICON West moved its 2025 show to Phoenix, which is significant because it highlights the importance of Arizona as a semiconductor and tech hub. Though the show will be back in San Francisco in 2026, the overwhelmingly warm welcome SEMI received from Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, and ASU President Michael Crowe—who has been responsible for ASU repeatedly achieving the U.S. News and World Reports most innovative university ranking—was remarked upon repeatedly. All indications are that SEMICON West may well be back in Phoenix after that 2026 season.

Is Glass Finally Coming of Age?
10/13/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Substrates, by definition, form the base of all electronic devices. Whether discussing silicon wafers for semiconductors, glass-and-epoxy materials in printed circuits, or the base of choice for interposers, all these materials function as substrates. While other substrates have come and gone, silicon and FR-4 have remained the de facto standards for the industry.
