Details
The IBM 5774 4 Gigabit PCI Express Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter is a 64-bit, short form factor x4, PCIe adapter with an LC-type external fiber connector that provides single initiator capability over an optical fiber link or loop.
Manufacturer Info:
The IBM 5774 adapter automatically negotiates the highest data rate between the adapter and an attaching device at 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps of which the device or switch is capable.
Distances between the adapter and an attaching device or switch can reach up to 500 meters running at 1 Gbps data rate, up to 300 meters running at 2 Gbps data rate, and up to 150 meters running at 4 Gbps data rate.
When used with IBM® Fibre Channel storage switches supporting long-wave optics, the IBM 5774 adapter can reach distances of up to 10 kilometers running at either 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps data rates.
The adapter can be used to attach devices either directly, or by means of Fibre Channel switches.
