No separate optical modules, fibre cable or RJ45 adaptors are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis direct architecture avoids the additional optical encoding and decoding required by fibre connections, providing a simple point-to-point network link between compatible components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupports Network Speeds up to 10Gbps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DELA C1 supports \u003cstrong\u003e10Gbps SFP+ connections\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it suitable for high-bandwidth network audio and music-server installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may also be used with compatible DELA equipment operating its SFP ports at \u003cstrong\u003e1Gbps\u003c\/strong\u003e, provided both connected devices and their port settings support the same network speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connection speed must match at both ends.
