IBM 00E8140 – 2x 10Gb FCoE SFP+ Copper 2x 1Gb RJ45 (FH

Detailed Description:

The IBM 00E8140 represents a cutting-edge network adapter offering a unique blend of connectivity options for IBM servers. This full-height (FH) adapter equips two 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports with FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) support for copper networks, alongside two additional 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) ports with standard RJ45 connectors. This combination enables versatile connectivity for both high-speed data transfer and legacy network compatibility. The 10GbE FCoE capability allows for the convergence of storage and network traffic over a single network infrastructure, simplifying data center layouts and reducing overhead costs associated with managing separate networks. The use of SFP+ ports for copper cabling provides flexibility in terms of distance and cabling options, catering to a range of deployment scenarios. Designed to meet the needs of high-demand server environments, the IBM 00E8140 adapter offers a powerful solution for enhancing network efficiency, performance, and reliability, making it an invaluable asset in the era of cloud computing and virtualization.
