hi shilpa, the early CX4 10Gbe spec didn't supply optional power through the connector, and the first revision bee2's and ibob's we built didn't have powered connectors. but the spec changed several years ago, so i would have guessed that any modern NIC board would have powered connectors. do you have a really old NIC? best wishes, dan On 5/19/2010 1:19 PM, Shilpa Bollineni wrote:
Hi All, I'm trying to use a optical transceiver to adapt CX4 to optical fiber: Fujitsu FPD-010R008-0E + FOC-CCxxxx. I'm using it for a short distance of 10m. I did the loop back test on BEE2 and it works fine. So I'm sure that the cable and the module is working fine. But when I have one end of the cable connected to the 10Gbe NIC card on the system I don't see the module getting any power from the NIC card. Does anyone know any specific 10Gbe NIC card that would work with these modules? Any suggestions? Thanks Shilpa Bollineni
