Hi,

As I understand your requirement is to implement CAUI-10 interface. If I understand it correctly it requires 10 lanes of transceivers, each operating at 100Gbps.

The Agilex 5 GTS XCVR lane cannot go beyond 28.1Gbps as per the datasheet, so how will it support 100Gbps/lane.


I guess mentioning CAUI-10 might be a typo in the datasheet or probably it only considers the Electrical Specification of it and not the functional spec. I will take an action to feedback this to the relevant teams to clarify this.


Regards

@Ash_R_Intel No, CAUI-10 uses 10 lanes with 10 Gbps each. Question is if x10 bonding is supported by Agilex 5.
