Hi, Remember to check the power available to the XFP/SFP+. Its the most common issue related with achievable distance. We worked with optic.ca to figured out that type of issue with some extreme network gear and after a few "patches" to the XGm board, it's been stable since. ----- Alain Hebert ahebert@pubnix.net PubNIX Inc. 50 boul.

Hello,
We are deploying more and more server based routers (based on BSD). We have now come to the point where we need to have 10GB uplinks one these devices and I prefer to plug in a long range 10GB fiber straight into the server without it going first into a router/switch from vendor x. It seems to me that all the 10GB PCIe cards only support either copper 10GBASE-T, short range 10GBASE-SR or the 10 Km 10GBASE-LR (but only very few). Are there any PCIe cards that support 10GBASE-ER and 10GBASE-ZR? I can't seem to find any.
The Intel XF SR2 card actually has XFPs and I have LR optics in one here. I don't see any reason it wouldn't support ER or ZR as well.
