IBM 16Gb 2-Port PCIe2 (x8) SR SFP+ Fibre Channel Adapter (FH)
IBM Feature: EN0A - CCIN 577F - PCIe3 16 Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Adapter 00E3496 00E9266 74Y2221
Description
The PCIe2 16 Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Adapter is a high-performance card that allows a computer to connect to a Fibre Channel storage network. It has two ports that can each transfer data at speeds of up to 16 Gbps. The adapter can automatically adjust its speed to match the speed of the devices it is connected to, ensuring optimal performance.
Features:
- Speed: Supports data transfer rates of 4 Gbps, 8 Gbps, and 16 Gbps.
- Automatic Speed Negotiation: Automatically adjusts its speed to match the speed of connected devices.
- Distance: Can connect to devices or switches up to 100 meters away at 16 Gbps, 150 meters away at 8 Gbps, and 380 meters away at 4 Gbps.
- Long-wave optics support: When used with compatible switches, it can reach distances of up to 10 km.
