Fiber optic transceiver board

Hello,

I'm looking for a development board that would have a large Altera FPGA, and as many optical transceivers as possible, with an interface to a PC.

Are you aware of the existence of such prototype / application boards ?

Thanks in advance

    Well, for example look at Altera's StratixII GX Audio/Video Development kit with two SFP baskets soldered on-board plus 8 (? don't remember exactly) SERDES links over HSMC connector. Design own HSMC-boards with SFP's and deal with.

    Theoretically EP2GX family has upto 20 SERDES per chip.

    Digitally yours,
