Hi,
Remember to check the power available to the XFP/SFP+.
Its the most common issue related with achievable distance.
We worked with optic.ca to figured out that type of issue with some
extreme network gear and after a few "patches" to the XGm board, it's
been stable since.

Hello,
We are deploying more and more server based routers (based on BSD).
We have now come to the point where we need to have 10GB uplinks one
these devices and I prefer to plug in a long range 10GB fiber
straight into the server without it going first into a router/switch
from vendor x. It seems to me that all the 10GB PCIe cards only
support either copper 10GBASE-T, short range 10GBASE-SR or the 10 Km
10GBASE-LR (but only very few). Are there any PCIe cards that support
10GBASE-ER and 10GBASE-ZR? I can't seem to find any.
The Intel XF SR2 card actually has XFPs and I have LR optics in one
here. I don't see any reason it wouldn't support ER or ZR as well.
