hi ian, the ibob uses the old virtex2Pro fpga's, which do not meet 10Gbit ethernet spec, so 3 meters is about as far as you can go with copper cables.
as dave mentioned, if you want to go 3 to 100 meters you can use optical CX4 cables. there are some part numbers of optical and copper cables at: https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/Equipment_Cables best wishes, dan On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 2:36 PM, O'Dwyer, Ian J (382G) < ian.j.o'[email protected]> wrote: > Is anyone successfully using 15m long cables with the ibob 10 gigabit > eithernet?
