Question on Cables for 400 G for Agilex™ 7 FPGA M-Series HBM2e Development Kit

[APod]

Hi,

We are wondering what type of cable that is suitable for connecting an "Agilex™ 7 FPGA M-Series HBM2e Development Kit" to another such development board or a system using 400G QSFPDD. 

Anyone can share their experience? Are passive or active cables better (what does the interface support?)? Length? 

Thanks beforehand.

Hi,

There are mentions of some cables recommended for the dev kit in the user guide. Refer the following link:

Thank you, but those cables are loop-back cables (primarily used for testing). But I will try around with some cables that I have around.
