That 0204 is a 0.47 uF 16 volt cap. With 9 volts DC bias from my distributed amplifier, it loses 80% of its capacitance.
Comes up 500 at the moment.

Strange; that link used to work.
Dropbox used to just work. They have fancied it up and mostly broke it.
Where do you find these sideways capacitors ?
Digikey. Search on "0204 capacitor" and 98 part numbers come up, including this one:

Dropbox found the picture again. It does look like the 0204 is a good fit to the 50-ohm line. Do you have the TDRs handy?
Thanks
Phil Hobbs
How wide a 50 Ohm line is depends on eps-r of the board and the stackup. We got excellent results for the eye diagrams @ 10 GBps with 0402 AVX capacitors > 10 years ago.
And I wonder why the CV product is so much worse for the short & fat capacitors vs. the normal slim & long ones.
I have a lot of 0612 10u 6V3 here, DK 445-4072-1-ND, never used them.

Very nice!
