    3.1.2. 10GBASE-R (Optical Fiber) 10GBASE-R is 10Gbps Ethernet connection that based on IEEE802.3ae. It uses fiber as transmission media with different specification of fiber, connector and transceiver. MCS-2160 uses two standards, 10GBASE-LR and 10GBASE-SR. 10GBASE-SR 10GBASE-SR ("Short Range") uses 64B/66B encoding and 850 nm wavelength lasers. It is designed to support short distances over deployed multi-mode fiber cabling, it has a range of between 26 meters (85 ft) and 82 meters (270 ft) depending on cable type.
  • Page 11 Optical Fiber As mentioned above, there are Single-mode and Multi-mode optical fiber. Both of them can be used for NuStreams module’s fiber port. Fiber Connector Optical fiber connector contains two ends of fibers and can attach to SFP+ transceivers. There are two ports for one SFP+ transceiver: one fiber is for receiving and one fiber is for transmitting.
