Stratix IV GX serdes jitter characteristics

I am trying to figure out the maximum jitter tolerance of the serdes receivers of a Stratix IV GX. The Switching Characteristics section (table 1-29) of the Device Handbook shows a jitter tolerance of " > n.nn UI " - why is it a greater-than sign instead of a less-than sign?

If the tolerance is greater than 0.37 UI, what does that mean? I would have expected a 'less-than' sign instead.

For example, if my bit-period is 100ps (hypothetical), and I expect to have an incoming jitter of up to 0.46 UI (or 46 ps) (almost half of the clock period!), will the jitter tolerance of the serdes receiver be sufficient to accurately receive the data?

Thanks in advance to any input on how to read those numbers!

nb: I'm using the serdes to receive FC data (the ALTGX will be in basic mode).
