Description
The IBM 46Y3496 is a high-performance network adapter designed to provide robust 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Equipped with a single 10GBase-LR port, it is optimized for long-reach connections over single-mode fiber optic cabling, supporting distances of up to 10 kilometers. This makes it an ideal solution for connecting servers, workstations, or network devices across large distances within a data center or campus environment. Leveraging the high bandwidth of the PCI-Express x8 interface, this adapter ensures that network traffic can be processed efficiently without becoming a bottleneck. The 10Gb/s data rate is crucial for demanding applications such as storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing (HPC), video streaming, and large-scale data transfers. The 10GBase-LR standard specifies the use of specific transceivers (typically SFP+) that enable these long-distance, high-speed optical links. This IBM network adapter is built for reliability and performance in enterprise-grade environments. It facilitates seamless integration into compatible server and workstation systems, providing a critical link for high-speed data communication. The 46Y3496 is a key component for organizations looking to upgrade their network infrastructure to support the increasing demands for bandwidth and speed.
