Hello everyone!

I am working on the design of an IO with a differential driver and reciever with lvds approach. My requirements are to design the IO for optical interfaces.

Cat6a wire seems suitable for such an application as a transmission line. Therefore before starting the circuit design i need to do a behavioral check of the system. Which will include the behavioral model of drivers recievers(which is sorted out) and the model of transmission line.

I am finding it difficult to model the behavior of transmission line. The cat6a cable is a twisted pair. From where can i find the values of CAT6a cable such as its inductance and dielectric loss etc. Secondly in cadence if i have to use mtline for modelling how would i be able to translate the data into the parameters which are RLGC and dielectric loss.

Can i find an RLGC matrice for CAT6 from somwhere which i can give to mtline?
