This would allow you to create a copper connection to an SFP+ switch. --- Quote End --- This is clear for me. Now, I can imagine how to to connect to an SFP+ module. --- Quote Start --- Look at the board. It has an ethernet connector. You can use that to transfer data to the board. If you then want to send it via 10Gbps, sure, use an SMA connector to send it somewhere else. --- Quote End --- My point was that if I want a throughput higher than 1000Mbps, I think that I have to transfer data to device using Ethernet interface and store it somewhere before sending it out. Because without storing data on board, how can I have like 10Gbps with input data rate to board is no greater than 1000Mbps? --- Quote Start --- If you want to implement a x1 PCIe cable to your SI kit, you have to find the transceivers that exist on the board *and* can be used to implement PCIe using the hard IP block. --- Quote End --- I will figure out this later and return to discuss if I face any issue. Thank you very much.
