Can the MGBE of the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin SOM use SFI differential pairs to directly connect to an SFP+ optical module?

Unfortunately, the provided context does not contain information about the MGBE (Multi-Gigabit Ethernet) interface of the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin SOM (System on Module) using SFI (Serial Front Panel Data Port) differential pairs to directly connect to an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) optical module.
However, I can provide some general information about the MGBE interface and SFP modules.
The MGBE interface is a high-speed Ethernet interface that supports speeds up to 10 Gbps. It is commonly used in various applications, including data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial automation.
SFP modules, on the other hand, are compact, hot-swappable transceivers that provide a convenient way to connect Ethernet devices to fiber optic or copper cables. They are widely used in networking equipment, such as switches, routers, and servers.
While it is technically possible to connect an SFP optical module to an MGBE interface, it is not a straightforward process. The MGBE interface typically requires a specific type of connector, such as an SFP+ or QSFP+ connector, to connect to an SFP module.
In the case of the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin SOM, the context does not provide information about the specific connector type used for the MGBE interface or whether it supports direct connection to an SFP optical module using SFI differential pairs.
To determine whether the Jetson Orin Nano can use SFI differential pairs to directly connect to an SFP optical module, you would need to consult the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin SOM documentation or contact NVIDIA support for more information.
In summary, while it is possible to connect an SFP optical module to an MGBE interface, the provided context does not contain sufficient information to determine whether the Jetson Orin Nano supports this specific configuration. Further investigation is required to determine the feasibility of this connection.

Please help confirm whether UPHY_TX6 and UPHY_RX6 can be directly connected to an SFP+ optical module.
We have not tested with SFP+ optical module as yet.
