Product Description
The IBM 46K7897-HP is a high-performance network adapter designed to bring 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to servers. It features a single port that supports the 10GBASE-SR standard, which is optimized for short-reach connections over multi-mode fiber optic cables, typically up to 300 meters. The adapter requires an SFP+ transceiver (sold separately) to establish the physical fiber connection. Its interface is PCI-Express 1.1 with an x8 lane configuration, providing sufficient bandwidth to support the full throughput of a 10Gbps connection. The inclusion of a low-profile bracket makes this adapter suitable for installation in smaller form factor servers and blade systems where space is limited. This makes it a versatile choice for upgrading network infrastructure in various server environments. This network adapter is ideal for applications requiring high-speed data transfer, such as storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing (HPC), data center aggregation, and demanding server-to-server communication. It enables faster data processing, reduced latency, and improved overall network efficiency for businesses relying on high-bandwidth network capabilities.
