Serial FPDP

Serial Front Panel Data Port (Serial FPDP or SFPDP) is a high speed low latency data streaming serial communication protocol. It currently supports several distinct speeds:


 * 1.0625 Gbit/s
 * 2.125 Gbit/s
 * 2.5 Gbit/s
 * 5.0 Gbit/s
 * 6.25 Gbit/s
 * 8.5 Gbit/s
 * 10 Gbit/s
 * 10.3125 Gbit/s
 * 25.78125 Gbit/s

Serial FPDP also recommends the use of one of the following link widths:


 * x1
 * x4
 * x8
 * x12 (5 Gbit/s and up)
 * x24 (5 Gbit/s and up)
 * x48 (10 Gbit/s and up)

Serial FPDP can operate over long distances, up to 10 km, using optical fiber cables, or shorter distances over copper cables.
