This verified reference design is a signal conditioning solution for front-port QSFP28 supporting two 100GbE ports compatible with 100G-CR4/SR4/LR4, 40G-CR4/SR4/LR4 and 10G SFF-8431 requirements. The design is applicable to optical and passive/active copper cables. It allows for reach extension between the Switch ASIC and the front-port QSFP28 which is often required for the outermost ports of a Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch or for add-in mezzanine implementations of QSFP28 line cards. This reference design offers the flexibility for users to upgrade from a DS280BR810 Repeater to the pin-compatible DS250DF810 Retimer.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
