Re: [Avid-L2] Avid's impression with system integrators?

 

You are correct. It applies to both copper and optical.
My statement was specific to optical in a sense that SCSI based or ethernet based optical both use SFPs. Apologies for the confusion.

>From the Amphenol site it looks like sfp's can be copper or optical.  Am I misunderstanding this?  Also I see they actually offer a feedback loop to test cards I had wondered in a thread years ago if there was some way to have a feedback loop to check fibre cables.  These loop backs seem more for testing the cards and not the cables but I wonder if there would be a way to add a sex changer on the loop back so you could put it at the end of a fibre run and then test at the other end.  Hmmmm:
