Dual port gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter (FC 5707; CCIN 5707)

Learn about the specifications and LEDs for the dual port gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter.

The dual port gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter is a high-performance, highly integrated, universal, Ethernet LAN adapter for PCI-X and PCI systems. The adapter presents one electrical load but appears as two independent devices to software. The adapter provides 1000 Mbps throughput on a standard shortwave (850nm) 50/62.5 micron multimode optical cable and conforms to the IEEE 802.3z standard and supports distances of 260m for 62.5u MMF and 550m for 50.0u MMF.
