4.2.1 SFP Media
The SL240 PCIe card supplies four short wavelength (850 nm) SFP optical transceivers for the
physical media interface. Each short wavelength transceiver provides a solution for short reach
intersystem connections (< 300 m), such as connecting between cards on the same backplane.
The SFP transceivers accept a fiber-optic cable terminated with a Duplex LC style connector,
available from most major cable manufacturers. For details concerning these connectors, contact
Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc., Technical Support.

4.3 Applications
SL240 PCIe cards are used in a variety of topologies for a variety of applications. The following
sections detail typical topologies used and some applications. Many other applications are possible
in these configurations. The SL240’s applications can be further expanded with the use of
additional Curtiss-Wright equipment whose features are also covered in this section.
4.3.1 Typical Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Imaging System
With the support for a 2.5 Gbps link transmission rate between interconnected subsystems, the
SL240 PCIe is ideal for use in many of today’s high-throughput data transfer applications. Figure
2-2 shows one example. This figure shows the SL240 PCIe’s usable data throughput rate.
