Re: PCIe adapters supporting long distance 10GB fiber?

We use Intel NICs with SFP+ holes. It works good with long and short
range SFP+ modules, including CWDM/DWDM.

Hello,

We are deploying more and more server based routers (based on BSD). We
have now come to the point where we need to have 10GB uplinks one these
devices and I prefer to plug in a long range 10GB fiber straight into
the server without it going first into a router/switch from vendor x. It
seems to me that all the 10GB PCIe cards only support either copper
10GBASE-T, short range 10GBASE-SR or the 10 Km 10GBASE-LR (but only very
few). Are there any PCIe cards that support 10GBASE-ER and 10GBASE-ZR? I
can't seem to find any.
