SNLS456D March 2016 – October 2019 DS250DF410
PRODUCTION DATA.
The DS250DF410 has strong equalization capabilities that allow it to equalize insertion loss, reduce jitter, and extend the reach of front-port interfaces. A single DS250DF410 can be used to support all four egress channels for a 100GbE port. Another DS250DF410 can be used to support all four ingress channels for the same 100GbE ports. Alternatively, a single DS250DF410 can be used to support all egress channels for four 25GbE ports, and another DS250DF410 can be used to support all four ingress channels for the same four 25GbE ports.
For applications which require IEEE802.3 100GBASE-CR4 or 25GBASE-CR auto-negotiation and link training, a linear repeater device such as the DS280BR810 (or similar) is recommended.
Figure 16 illustrates this configuration, and Figure 17 shows an example simplified schematic for a typical front-port application.
