RD1011

Bidirectional Active USB-CTM Cable for USB3.2 (10G) and DP1.3 (8.1G)

Overview:

RD1011 is a bidirectional active USB Type-CTM (USB-C) cable, which includes two paddle cards, each with an ANX7451 device on it. The ANX7451 is a 4x4 re-timing mux capable of switching DisplayPort (DP) and USB3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps signals to support a single USB Type-CTM (USB-CTM) port. The RD1011 design can recover both the USB and DP signals with loss compensation of up to 23dB and 27dB respectively. The RD1011 includes two ANX7410 devices, which act as an on-board programmable MCU and eMarker chip. With ANX7410, ANX7451 can be initiated with optimal settings that enable the RD1011 design to cover 4-meter at 28AWG cable length. RD1011 can be used with any USB-C port on any of the display monitors, docking stations and VR HMDs.
