10 GBit Adapter for Experiment PC

Some Experiment PCs have been extended by 10GE NICs. Due to length scales of PETRA III Hall, decision has been put to mono mode fiber optics. The 10GE extension in use consists of the two parts NIC (a bare PCIe card offering two small form-factor pluggable) and transceiver (which defines the connection mode, e.g. fiber optics or copper). Some brief info on both components are given below.
