There are three part numbers that TI suggests using with this EVM:

  1. 85014420, MF53/1x8A_21MXP/21SMA/152: MXP-15 cable assembly. This is a lower cost cable assembly compared to the MXP-40, but the SI performance is very good and more than adequate for 25 Gbps operation.
  2. 84099607, MF53/1x8A_21MXP/11SK/305: MXP-40 cable assembly. This cable assembly is designed specifically for 40+ GHz. It features a male cable end and longer cable length options.
  3. 84098900, MF53/1x8A_21MXP/21SK_ergo/305: MXP-40 cable assembly. This cable assembly is designed specifically for 40+ GHz. It features a female cable end and longer cable length options.
