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. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
