IBM 9411-5759 > 4 GB Dual-Port Fibre Channel PCI-X 2 DDR Adapter - System > 9405, 9406, 9407, 9411 - FRU > 03N5029

(#5759) - 4Gbps Fibre Channel (2-Port)

Provides a 4Gbps Dual-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 or dual 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 #5759 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, 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 Fibre Channel storage switches supporting long-wave optics, distances up to 10 kilometers are capable running at either 1Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4Gbps data rates.

The #5759 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(s), use of an LC-SC 50 Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#0371) or an LC-SC 62.5 Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#0372) is required.
