Aurora Data Capture Card

• 4 × SFP+ input and output:
  • SFP+ operating up to 6.6 Gb/s line rate.
  • The throughput reflects the 20% overhead of Aurora 8B/10B encoding and providing a total aggregate payload bandwidth of 21.12 Gb/s.
• 2 × QSFP input and output
  • Each lane supporting up to 6.6 Gb/s line rate.
  • The effective aggregate throughput, considering Aurora protocol overhead, is 42.24 Gb/s.

Aurora 64B/66B encoding

• 4 × SFP+ input and output
  • SFP+ operating up to 10Gb/s line rate.
