Part Number: TLK2711-SP
Dear Wade,
thank you very much.
Looking at your documents, I can understand that the media quality is important and also the length.
Even if the cat5 cables are specified up to 200 or 350 MHz, you pushed them with data-rates up to 2.5 Gbps and it seems to work also with cable length up to 15 meters (even if with very degraded performances), correct?
I know that the Jitter is very important and also the clock quality, but in any case, something "not-depending" by the TI boards is the cables quality and length.
For sure making use of coaxial cables (SMA connectors) with performances up to 18 GHz, I think that the performances are better than standard low commercial cables.
Also the transferred data-rate is important.
Correct?
Last question always related to TLK2711 boards: can I use them with data-rates lower than 1.6 Gbps (e.g. 1Gbps) ?
I put "This resolved my issue" but I kindly ask you to answer to these last questions.
Thank you very much
Alessandro
