Hello Shlomi,

They can use TLK10232 to connect between 10G-KR to SFI/XFI. You need to configure 1 HS channel (e. g. CH A) for 10G-KR, configure the other HS channel for XFI per the attached instructions, and use Data Switch to connect CH A to CH B (DST_CONTROL_1/2 registers).

Yaser

Thanks Yaser,

I considered that, but thought that may be TI have a better suited chip for this purpose.

Shlomi,

I am not aware of a better solution. This solution has been used by some customers before.
