IBM 10N8586 – 1Gb 1-Port PCI-X Ethernet-SX Adapter

Detailed Description:

The IBM 10N8586 is a specialized networking adapter that provides reliable and fast Ethernet connectivity for IBM servers. Featuring a 1Gb bandwidth capacity and a single port, this adapter is built on the PCI-X (Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended) architecture, offering superior speed and compatibility with existing server configurations. The Ethernet-SX standard indicates the use of short-wavelength laser optics, which is optimized for short to medium range fiber optic communications. This facilitates high-speed data transmission over fiber optic cables, enhancing network security and signal integrity over traditional copper-based systems. Designed for use in enterprise environments where reliable, high-speed network connectivity is critical, the IBM 10N8586 is an excellent choice for expanding or upgrading the networking capabilities of servers, particularly in data centers and complex network infrastructures.
