(#5758) - 4Gbps Fibre Channel (1-Port)

Provides a 4Gbps Single Port Fibre Channel PCI-X 2.0 Adapter, which is a 64-bit address/data, short form factor PCI-X adapter with an LC type external fiber connector that provides single initiator capability over an optical fiber link or loop. With the use of appropriate optical fiber cabling, this adapter provides the capability for a network of high-speed local and remote located storage.

The #5758 will auto-negotiate for the highest data rate between adapter and an attaching device at 1Gbps, 2Gbps or 4Gbps of which the device or switch is capable. Distances of up to 500 meters running at 1Gbps data rate and up to 300 meters running at 2Gbps data rate and 4Gbps data rate up to 150 meters are supported between the adapter and an attaching device or switch. When used with IBM supported Fibre Channel storage switches supporting long-wave optics, distances of up to 10 kilometers are capable of running at either 1, 2, or 4Gbps data rates.

The #5758 can be used to attach devices either directly, or by means of Fibre Channel Switches. If attaching a device or switch with an SC type fiber connector, use of an LC-SC 50 Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#0371) or an LC-SC 62.5 Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#0372) is required.

Features #5758 and #5761 are physically the same card, but have different feature numbers that denote to IBM configurator tools whether or not an IOP is required. #5758 does not require a PCI IOP.
