     6.0 Gbps: SATA Host  8.0 Gbps: PCIe Channel 0~7 To enable an external loopback of transceiver channels, specific loopback fixtures are required. Some fixtures may be proprietary to Terasic. For SFP+ loopback, optical SFP+ loopback fixtures are required. Figure 7-1 shows the optical SFP+ loopback fixture.
