DS280DF810EVM: MXP connectors not installed for channels 4-7

Tool/software:

Hello,

From the DS280DF810EVM pictures it appears that MXP connectors J203 and J204, which support channels 4-7, are not installed. Is this correct? Can the board be procured with J203/204 installed? The application I'm evaluating requires all 8 channels.

Also, I'm a bit concerned about availability and lead time of the MXP coax cable assembly - e.g. P/N 84099607, MF53/1x8A_21MXP/11SK/305 - has anyone tried to procure this lately? If so, what was the lead time?

Lastly, I would like to request the schematic and layout files for this eval board. From other DS280DF810EVM posts it appears that the following link should be used to request access. Is this link still valid?

Hi Charlie,

Yes this is correct, DS280DF810EVM does not have the connector for CH4-7 populated. Typically we would recommend that customers requiring CH4-7 work with their preferred CM to get CH4-7 populated.

None of my direct team members have purchased these cables recently, so I'm uncertain about the lead time. I'll ask around and let you know if I have any updates. I would recommend reaching out directly to Huber+Suhner to see if they have any recommendations.

Yes please use the link you shared and let us know if you have any issue getting access to the files within a couple days.

EDIT: Request link in original post is no longer valid. Please use link below for requesting DS280DF810 files.

Hi Charlie,

I noticed that East Coast Microwave has 2 of these cable assemblies in stock. You might consider reaching out.
