Hello

My customer is looking for MUX devices to support XFI interface signals?
Any recommended devices?

Are you using raw XFI (one differential pair at 10.3125 Gbps) or XAUI (four differential pairs at 3.125 Gbps)?

See the list of protocol-specific, > 3 GHz muxes, sorted by bandwidth. Please note that the protocols mentioned there (PCIe, SAS, SATA, USB) are differential, so they will work with XFI/XAUI.

Clemens,

They are using raw XFI (one differential pair at 10.3125 Gbps).
In this case, they should sort by >10 GHz bandwidth, not >3GHz bandwidth?

Hi Kazuhiko,

I am moving this E2E over to the HSSC group since we are in the realm of high speed signal switches now with this application.

Thanks!

Yes. The only practical choice left is the TMUXHS4212.
