Description
The IBM 42C1820 is a high-performance dual-port network adapter designed for servers requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It features a PCI-Express 2.0 x8 interface, providing ample bandwidth to support the high throughput demands of two 10Gb/s SFP+ ports. This adapter is built for enterprise-level environments where fast and reliable network communication is critical. Each of the two ports utilizes the SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) form factor, allowing for flexible deployment with various types of 10Gb/s optical transceivers (sold separately). These transceivers can be SR (Short Reach) for multi-mode fiber or LR (Long Reach) for single-mode fiber, depending on the network topology and distance requirements. The PCIe 2.0 x8 interface ensures that the adapter can communicate efficiently with the server's CPU and memory, minimizing bottlenecks. This network adapter is an essential component for modern data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise servers that handle large volumes of data traffic. Its dual-port design offers redundancy and increased bandwidth capacity, supporting critical applications such as storage networking, virtualization, and high-speed data transfers. The IBM 42C1820 is engineered for reliability and performance in demanding server environments.
