Multi mode Cable is a type of cable that has a relatively thicker light
carrying core. Light in a thicker core makes more reflections
and is therefore only suited to shorter distances. The following
table shows what mode of fiber is required for each distance
covered.
For Installation and removal of the SFP+ module see section "Installation of
1 Gbit SFP/10 Gbit SFP+ Module" on page 189.

10 Gbit Ethernet Card in GENDAQ series networks

There are several different ways to connect individual components together
when using the 10 Gbit Ethernet card therefore this card allows the user more
freedom to set up their system with different configurations.
The 10 Gbit Ethernet card can essentially be used to communicate at double
the throughput speed of the standard 1 Gbit Ethernet or with more advanced
setups can act as a manually switchable storage selector or even a dual
communication and storage interface.
The following Figure 11.35 shows a simple setup using the 10 Gbit Ethernet
Card. A PC with an optical Ethernet interface which has SFP+ support is
connected via optical cable to the interface of the 10 Gbit Ethernet card option
of the GENDAQ unit. This setup utilizes the higher speed communication of the
10 Gbit Ethernet Card for communication with Perception.

Connecting the 10 Gbit Ethernet Option to a PC

To be able to use this option you also need the correct connection or interface
attached to your PC. The correct connection is not always an SFP+ module but
there must be a network card or adaptor installed that supports the same
specifications as the SFP+ modules used on the GENDAQ side.
