SN65DSI86: Cable drive

Part Number: SN65DSI86
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDP142

Hi,

We're looking into using SN65DSI86* to drive a DP sinking display about 6m away from our source device. I have seen other posts relating to this, stating that tests have been successful at 3m on a DP cable and I am aware that the IC provides up to 7.2dB of pre-emphasis. Could you provide your view on whether SN65DSI86 would be able to drive a 6m long DP cable of reasonable quality when aiming for around 720p resolution at 50Hz?

If this unlikely to be feasible, can you provide separate drivers to boost the signal? We are also open to totally different main IC if you have superior suggestions.

Br,

Lari
