Connecting SFP 2 SMA adapter to VC709 FPGA

[rng]

Hello,
I'm currently working on the vc709 FPGA and i wanted to connect the highspeed transceiver to an ADC through a SMA cable. Unfortunately the vc709 doesn't have a transceiver connected directly to a SMA output (some boards do have this connection such as the zcu102). I found a SFP to SMA adapter that seems to solve this issue because some of the vc709 transceivers are connected to SFP+ ports. My question is: the adapter says "SFP 2 SMA" and not "SFP+ 2 SMA", will it work on the SFP+ port of the vc709 board? If yes, will there be downsides such as lower speed?

Thank you for your time.

It will work but we do not guarantee maximum speed you can get.
