Patent number: 9841572Abstract: An interconnect system includes a first circuit board, first and second connectors connected to the first circuit board, and a transceiver including an optical engine and arranged to receive and transmit electrical and optical signals through a cable, to convert optical signals received from the cable into electrical signals, and to convert electrical signals received from the first connector into optical signals to be transmitted through the cable. The transceiver is arranged to mate with the first and second connectors so that at least some converted electrical signals are transmitted to the first connector and so that at least some electrical signals received from the cable are transmitted to the second connector.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: SAMTEC, INC.Inventors: Eric Zbinden, Randall Musser, Jean-Marc André Verdiell, John Mongold, Brian Vicich, Keith Guetig

Publication number: 20160274316Abstract: A socket for an IC package includes a base with which the IC package is capable of being mated and unmated and an optical element integrated with the base. When the IC package is mated with the base, based on electrical signals received from the IC package, the optical element generates light signals or modifies light signals; and/or based on detected light signals, the socket generates electrical signals that are transmitted to the IC package.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2016Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventor: Jean-Marc Andre VERDIELL
