Pcie3 4-Port 10 Gbe Sfp+ Copper Adapter (Fc En17; Ccin 2Ce4) - IBM 74Y4064 Handbook

Because core sizes are different, OM1 cables only can be connected to other OM1 cables. For best results,
OM2 cables must not be connected to OM3 or OM4 cables. However, if an OM2 cable is connected to an
OM3 or OM4 cable, the characteristics of the OM2 cable apply to the entire length of the cables. The
following table shows the supported distances for the different fiber optic cable types at different link
speeds.

Adapter LED
Green and yellow LEDs can be seen through openings in the mounting bracket of the adapter. The green
LED indicates link activity and the yellow LED signifies the link state. Table 61 summarizes the LED
states for this adapter.
