PCIe2 LP 4-Port (10Gb+1GbE) SR+RJ45 Adapter (FC EN0T; CCIN 2CC3)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EN0T adapter.
Overview
The PCIe2 LP 4-Port (10Gb+1GbE) SR+RJ45 Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 2, x8, short
form-factor, low-profile adapter. The adapter provides two 10 Gb SR optical ports and two 1 Gb RJ45
ports. This adapter provides a PCIe 2.0 host bus interface. The adapter supports the Ethernet network
interface controller (NIC) function. The adapter is a high-performance adapter that consolidates traffic for
networking. The link aggregation and failover features of the adapter make it suitable for critical network
applications that require redundancy and high availability.
The four-port adapter provides two 10 Gb small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) optical SR transceiver ports
and two 1 Gb RJ45 Ethernet ports. The two 10 Gb SR ports have little connector (LC) duplex-type
connectors. The optical transceiver uses shortwave laser optics and is attached with MMF-850nm fiber
cabling with LC connectors. See "Cables" on page 60 for more information about the optical cables. Each
10 Gb port provides Ethernet connectivity with a nominal data rate of 10 Gbps (gigabits per second).
Figure 21 on page 60 shows the FC EN0T adapter.
Each of the 1 Gb RJ45 port provides Ethernet connectivity at a data rate of 1 Gbps. Each of the 1 Gb ports
is connected with a 4-pair, CAT-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or with a cable of higher
specification, and is supported for distances of up to 100 meters. In addition to 1 Gb (1000 Mb) networks,
100 Mb networks are also supported.
