A.5.3. QSFP Interface

The Agilex™ 7 FPGA F-Series (2 × F-Tiles) Development Kit 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 Agilex™ 7 FPGA, supporting QSFP modules, with capability of 200 Gbps aggregate bandwidth with power classifications up to 3.5 W.
