What Our Customers Say

Real feedback from engineers and procurement teams who rely on Samtec for their connector needs.

"We were deploying 48-port LC patch panels across 12 central office sites for a regional GPON upgrade. Our previous supplier's connectors averaged 0.35 dB insertion loss, which pushed several links over the optical budget on longer splitter spans. Samtec's engineering team tested samples from three ferrule grades and recommended their Grade B zirconia ferrule, which measured 0.12 dB average insertion loss in our lab. We passed Telcordia GR-326 certification on the first attempt and completed the rollout on schedule."

Tier-2 Carrier, Southeastern U.S. (12-site GPON deployment, 2024)

"Our 5G small cell rollout in a dense urban area required 5,000 SMA connectors with IP67 rating and a two-week lead time. Samtec shipped 50 evaluation samples within 24 hours so our RF engineers could verify VSWR performance (measured 1.18:1 at 3.5 GHz). Full production arrived on day 12. The consistent quality across the batch meant zero field rejects during installation of 200 small cell nodes."

Wireless Systems Integrator, Nordic Region (200-node small cell project, 2024)

"We needed to re-cable a 500-rack data center from 10G to 100G using MPO-12 trunk cables. Samtec's selection tool narrowed our options to OM4 MPO connectors with 0.15 dB maximum insertion loss per mating pair. Their team also flagged that our original polarity scheme (Method A) would cause issues with our new leaf switches, saving us from a costly rework. The entire procurement cycle took 8 days from first inquiry to delivery."

Colocation Provider, Western Europe (500-rack migration, 2023)

"We contracted Samtec to supply custom N-Type to 7/16 DIN jumper cables for a macro cell antenna upgrade across 45 tower sites. Their engineering team identified that our original spec called for standard PTFE dielectric, which would have exceeded PIM requirements at 700 MHz. They recommended air-dielectric construction, and the final assemblies measured below -155 dBc PIM across the full 698-2700 MHz band. Turnaround from design approval to first delivery was 19 days."

Mobile Operator, West Africa (45-site antenna upgrade, 2024)
