Software Release

October 2010 - Release of OptEM Cable Designer version 6.5.0 with new Advisor Modules:

  • Pair Advisor - iteratively calculates conductor and insulate diameters which fulfill a selected standard using assigned design properties for a shielded or unshielded pair.
  • Lay Length Advisor - calculates the lay lengths of a four-pair cable based on assigned design properties and ratios between NEXT resonance frequency and the maximum frequency for diagonal and side-by-side pairs.
Trade Shows
OptEM at the DAC

1) June 2011 - OptEM showcased it'sOptEM Inspectorsoftware at the Design Automation Conference in San Diego, CA, USA. TheDACis the world's leading conference and tradeshow covering the latest trends in electronic design and design automation. OptEM Inspector is a software tool used for layout-to-circuit device and interconnect RC and substrate extraction of deep submicron analog, digital and mixed-ICs.

OptEM at the IWCS

2) November 2010 - OptEM showcased itsOptEM Cable Designersoftware at the International Wire & Cable Symposium in Providence, RI, USA. TheIWCSis the world's premier venue for the presentation of new and original wire and cable industry technologies and trends. OptEM demonstrated OptEM Cable Designer, a software tool used for designing and simulating the performance of all types of copper cables.

Technical Paper

OptEM also presented the paper entitled "Unbalance and Mode Transfer in Shielded Pairs" at the 2010 IWCS. In the paper, the capacitive unbalance of four selected samples of individually screened pairs was correlated with the measurement of intra pair skew and differential to common mode transfer. Different measurement techniques were compared and time domain response was calculated. Transmission quality of the selected samples was finally tested by generating eye diagrams.
