PCIe2 LP 2x10GbE SR 2x1GbE UTP Adapter (FC 5280; CCIN 2B54)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5280 adapter.

Overview

The PCIe2 LP 2x10GbE SR 2x1GbE UTP Adapter is a PCI Express generation-2, low-profile, four-port Ethernet unified wire adapter with a PCI Express 2.0 host bus interface. The adapter is optimized for cloud computing, virtualization, storage, and other data center applications. The four port adapter provides two 10 Gb Ethernet ports and two 1 Gb Ethernet ports. The two 10 Gb small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) single root (SR) transceiver ports are used for connectivity with other servers or switches in the network. Each SFP+ (SR) port provides Ethernet connectivity with a nominal data rate of 10 Gbps (gigabits per second), and uses the SFP+ copper twinaxial cables up to 5 m (16.4 ft) in length. Each of the RJ45 ports provides Ethernet connectivity at a data rate of 1 Gbps. The link aggregation and failover features of the adapter are ideal for critical network applications that require redundancy and high availability. Figure 1 shows the FC 5745 adapter.
