  • Page 27 eGrabber Coaxlink Converter Handbook PART II Functional Guide What are the cable options for CoaXPress-over-Fiber? One of the most important benefits of CoaXPress-over-Fiber is the wide variety of connectivity options already available from multiple companies. The initial connectivity options for CoaXPress-over-Fiber and the PC3625 Coaxlink QSFP+ at 10 Gbps are SFP+ and QSFP+ (Quad, or four times SFP+) modules.
  • Page 28 eGrabber Coaxlink Converter Handbook PART II Functional Guide What are the jitter and latency of CoaXPress-over-Fiber? How do they compare to "traditional" CoaXPress? CoaXPress-over-Fiber is based on the CoaXPress protocol and it exhibits the same high performance as CoaXPress in terms of jitter and latency. In addition, as CoaXPress-over-Fiber supports higher transmission speed compared to CoaXPress, the jitter and latency will be further improved in these versions.
