IBM SINGLE PORT PCI ULTRA 160 SCSI HBA CARD 09N4212
The 4 Gigabit PCI Express Single Port Fibre Channel adapter is a 64 bit, short form factor x4, PCIe adapter with an LC-type external fiber connector that provides single initiator capability over an optical fiber link or loop. The adapter automatically negotiates the highest data rate between the adapter and an attaching device at 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps of which the device or switch is capable of. Distances between the adapter and an attaching device or switch can reach up to 500 meters running at 1 Gbps data rate, up to 300 meters running at 2 Gbps data rate, and up to 150 meters running at 4 Gbps data rate. When used with IBM® Fibre Channel storage switches that support longwave optics, the adapter can reach distances of up to 10 kilometers running at either 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps data rates.
The adapter can be used to attach devices either directly, or with Fibre Channel switches. If you are attaching a device or switch with an SC type fiber connector, you must use an LC-SC 50 micron fiber converter cable (FC 2456) or an LC-SC 62.5 micron fiber converter cable (FC 2459).
