Operating distances for 10GBase-SR
The operating distance is the distance between the card and the local switch or link-partner to which it is connected.The
Operating distances for 10GBase-SR using multi-mode fiber (MMF) optic cable are as follows:
The AD386A conforms to the specifications for 10GBase-SR set forth in the IEEE Std 802.3ae-2002. The 10GBase serial
physical layer device (PHY) used in 10GBase-SR does not directly interface with any other form of 10 Gigabit Ethernet such
as Base-LR, ER, SW, LW, or EW and other 1000Base-SX (fiber based) Gigabit Ethernet link interfaces.
