DS90UB948-Q1: CAT5e or CAT6?

Part Number: DS90UB948-Q1

I have a new design and wanted to see if the FPD-Link product would be a fit.  Design would be HDMI serializer with 1 back channel serial control to the deserializer (either HDMI or LVDS).  It looked like the DS90UB949 and DS90UB948 may be a fit.

 

My question is do you have any other possible solutions?  Can the FPD-Link be CAT5e or CAT6 (with PoE possibly)?

What would be the maximum length?

 

Thank you

  • Hi Dan,

    Both COAX and STP solutions are possible with these parts and common connector and cable choices are discussed in the product datasheets and EVM User Guides.

    As for CAT5e and CAT6 these can come in UTP and STP flavors and would need to meet channel specs.  They are not recommended at this time.  To discuss channel specs further, please contact me internally as this information is covered by NDA.

    Sincerely,
    Bryan Kahler
