6.1. Availability of Redrivers/Retimers
The market demand dictates the availability of redrivers and retimers to support electrical reach and compliancy. You can freely adopt any available redriver depending on electrical characteristic of Source and Sink.
Intel recommends that you apply TX FFE and use compliant cables in the setup. It can be an advantage if you use better RX equalization design to recover signal on a PCB panel before feeding it into FPGA.
