Product Description
The IBM 74Y3086 is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) Host Network Adapter specifically designed for integration into IBM server platforms. This adapter stands out by utilizing 10GBASE-T technology, which means it uses standard RJ45 connectors and operates over twisted-pair copper Ethernet cabling, typically Cat6a or Cat7 for optimal performance at 10Gbps speeds over longer distances. This eliminates the need for SFP+ transceivers and associated fiber optic or DAC cables, simplifying deployment in environments already equipped with standard Ethernet infrastructure. With two independent 10Gbps ports, the 74Y3086 offers flexibility for network configurations. It can be used to provide redundant network connections, aggregate bandwidth through link aggregation (LAG), or connect a server to two different network segments. This is crucial for servers handling significant network traffic, such as those used for virtualization, databases, storage, or application hosting. Designed as a PCIe adapter card, it interfaces with the server's motherboard to provide high-speed communication. While the specific PCIe generation and lane count are not detailed in the title, it would typically be a PCIe 3.0 x8 or similar interface to adequately support the bandwidth requirements of two 10Gbps ports. This adapter is a practical solution for IBM server environments looking to upgrade to 10GbE speeds using familiar RJ45 connectivity.
