Both tables have the following columns:
wSKU: Citrix maintains multiple SKUs for the same part.
wDescription: The price list description of the part.
wTransmit Wavelength: The nominal transmit wavelength.
wCable/Fiber Type: Fiber characteristics affect the maximum transmit distance
achievable. This is especially true with 10G on multi-mode fiber (MMF), where
various dispersion components become dominant. For more information, see
http://www.thefoa.org/tech/ref/basic/fiber.html.
wTypical Reach: Maximum transmit distance.
wProducts: Some chassis are available with different media options. Use the
appropriate data sheet to confirm that your particular chassis type supports the
media.
