SFP is generic for optical connections. You need specific SFPs for the signal type. You can't use the 4Gb SFP from your Atto 41ES with your 10Gb Myricom card.
Common fiber networks (Unity, XSAN, Terrablock via QLogic switches) use SCSI based communication. 10 GbE use the same protocols as your 100Mb and 1Gb connectors (TCP/IP, UDP, etc.) via copper or optical fiber. Same exact protocol, just different physics (proton vs electron).
LC and SC are fiber termination connector type. It does not dictate signal type.

Where do these sfp fibre cables fit in the scheme of the lc and sc connectors I'm more familiar with?. When you run 10Gb over fibre are there Mia's or GBIC adapters at the ends of the fibre that convert them back to standard 10Gb ethernet. I'm googling an find things that say sfp with gbic also mentioned. Perhaps I'm not fully understanding if sfp is a generic category of small pluggable connectors or a specific fibre connection. Any enlightment would be appreciated.
