Arria V GT transceiver with SFP+

Hello, can 10-Gbps transceivers in Arria V devices be used to implement 10GBASE-R interface by direct connection to optical SFP+ modules? If we look at pages: https://www.altera.com/solutions/...

Hi,

As I understand it, Arria V device is not able to directly interface with SFP+ modules at 10G. Only Stratix V can directly interface as Stratix V has additional PMA blocks. I believe the devkit might have additional component in between the transceiver and the SFP+ modules.
