PCIe LP 2-Port 10 GbE SFN6122F Adapter (FC EC2G; CCIN EC2G)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EC2G adapters.
Overview
The FC EC2G PCIe LP 2-Port 10 GbE SFN6122F adapter is a low-profile adapter equivalent to the FC EC2J, which is a regular-height adapter.
The adapter is a PCIe generation-2 (PCIe2), dual-port, 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) adapter with a PCIe 2.0 host bus interface. The adapter delivers high-bandwidth and low-latency 10 GbE connectivity. The adapter is optimized for high-transaction databases, cloud computing, virtualization, storage, and other data center applications. The adapter improves network performance by instantiating protected virtual network interface controller (vNIC) interfaces for each running guest operating system or application, which gives it a direct pipeline to the Ethernet network. This architecture provides the most efficient way to maximize network and processor efficiency. The adapter supports Solarflare OpenOnload for environments that require high performance and low latency. You can download the Solarflare NET drivers that support this adapter, from the Solarflare Support Site.
The two 10 Gb small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) transceiver ports are used for connectivity with other servers or switches in the network. Each SFP+ port provides Ethernet connectivity with a nominal data rate of 10 gigabits per second (Gbps), and uses the SFP+ copper twinaxial cables up to 5 m (16.4 ft) in length.
