Formerica Differentiators and Advantages Triple Play: TAA compliant, NDAA compliant, no China Tariff Made-in-Taiwan means TAA compliance for GSA contracts: • US Gov’t/Mil/DoD/TLA (Three Letter Acronyms - YKW) • GSA contracts: tax payers’ money. Our money. • Priority to buy “Made-In-USA” or “Made-In-US Friendly Countries” – Taiwan, Japan, South Korea in Southeast Asia. Not China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, India, Indonesia, etc. • Most competitors’ are Non-TAA compliant b/c their factories are in “Non-Designated Countries”. • BAA (Buy American Act): GSA supply contracts valued between $25,000~$182,000 • TAA (Trade Agreement Act): GSA supply contract above $182,000 • Buy American/Trade Agreement Acts: based on “Country of Origin”, sources of content and last country of “Substantial Transformation”. “COO” may not always be equivalent to “Product of”. Made-In-Taiwan means NDAA compliance (and no Cybersecurity Risk): • NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) • Prohibits US Gov’t using products from Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, Dahua, etc. • Formerica does not have relationships (OEM, ODM or JDM) with these named vendors Made-In-Taiwan means No China Tariff

Key Products: Optical Bypass Module Types 1. Passive OBM (POBM) – Optical Bypass Switch Used in Industrial Ethernet Switches (IES) Hardware activated – switches on automatically when there is no power Can be installed internally or externally 2. OBM - Optical Bypass Switch + Optical Engines Used in Industrial PCs (IPC) Uses Watchdog Timer to verify appliance status Installed internally 3. Intelligent OBM – Optical Bypass Switch + Optical Engines + Firmware/Software Used in Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) or Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) Uses heart-beat packets to verify appliance status Software/Firmware integration with host Requires joint development with customer and integration with their system POBM and OBM are standard products and intelligent bypass switch as custom products.

Market Trends: Immersion Cooling for Data Centers What is Immersion cooling? The latest transformation of the liquid cooling in High Performance Computing and Next Gen Data Center. Also known as liquid submersion cooling, it is the practice of submerging computer components (or full servers) in a thermally, but not electrically, conductive liquid (dielectric coolant). Liquid submersion is a routine method of cooling large power distribution components such as transformers. Still rarely used for the cooling of IT Hardware, this method is gaining market traction and popularity with green computing & innovative datacenters the world over.

100G QSFP28 Extension Cable for Immersion Cooling Liquid cooling has been an accepted method of conditioning electronics for more than half a century. Immersion Cooling is at the foundation of Immersed Computing. It means the complete immersion of electronic components in a dielectric liquid. By doing so, all the heat generated by the IT is captured in the liquid. Suitable dielectric liquids can absorb approximately 1500 times more heat energy than air with the same volumes and temperatures. Concerning the device temperature control, the application of immersed computing design is a trend. However, the performance of fiber lens degrades in liquids, which means that the I/O link can't support the deployment of transceivers and active optical cables. QSFP28 Extender, is designed to be applied for immersion solution. It extends the 100G interfaces to surface, aiming to realize the interconnection of 100G transceivers and AOC cables. Features: • Compliant QSFP28 MSA specifications and SFF-8665 • Low EMI radiation • Insertion Loss < 7dB @12.89GHz/channel within 50cm • Oil-resistant, dust-proof and anti-corrosion • 100 ohm differential impedance system • Low Near-End Crosstalk • RoHS compliant • Available length 22cm, 36cm, or custom length Applications: • Extend the 100Gb/s high speed interconnection for liquid immersion solution • Extend the link of 100G AOCs • Extend the link of 100G transceivers
