A.5.3. QSFP Interface

The Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA (two F-tiles) development board includes a connector and cages system for mounting a Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) module. The interface connects to four 56 Gbps PAM4 capable F-tile lanes of the Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA, supporting QSFP modules, with capability of 200 Gbps aggregate bandwidth with power classifications up to 3.5 W.
