Tech specs and diagram on page 9 of datasheet suggest yes, but diagram on datasheet page 1 suggests that external interface caps are required. Anybody know for sure?

Hi Tom,
The DS100DF410 device does require AC coupling caps on both the inputs and the outputs. When used in SFP+ applications, the AC coupling cap is included in the cable, so the diagram doesn't have an extra cap called out. For most 64b/66b data types, a 100 nF cap is suggested for the AC coupling.
Thanks,
