Based on the dielectric material
EM370(Z). The following max length is
derived based on this characteristic.
The length constraint must be re-
defined if the loss characteristic is
changed.
Note that microstrip loss could be
similar to stripline due to humidity
effect.

Trace Spacing for TX/RX Non-interleaving
TX-RX Xtalk is very critical in PCB trace routing. The ideal solution is to route TX and RX on different layers.
If routing on the same layer, strongly recommend not interleaving TX and RX lanes
If have to have interleaving routing in breakout, all the inter-pair spacing should follow the rule of inter-S
NEXT
(between TX/RX pair
spacing)
The breakout trace width is suggested to be the minimum to increase inter-pair spacing
Do not perform serpentine routing for intra-pair skew compensation in the breakout region

Topology
Y-pattern is recommended
Keep symmetry
Y-pattern helps with Xtalk suppression.
It can also reduce the limit of the pair-
pair distance. Review needed
(NEXT/FEXT check) if via placement
does not use Y-pattern. See Figure 7-5.
GND via
Place GND via as symmetrically as
possible to data pair vias. Up to 4
signal vias (2 diff pairs) can share a
single GND return via
GND via is used to maintain return
path, while its Xtalk suppression is
limited
