IBM 5732 – IBM 10 GB ETH CX4 PCI-E ADPAPTER

Detailed Description:

The IBM 5732 is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) adapter that provides high-speed networking capabilities for servers and high-performance workstations. Featuring a PCI Express (PCI-E) interface, it offers a direct, high-bandwidth connection to the system’s motherboard, delivering enhanced data transfer rates that are essential for enterprise-level applications and large-scale data transfers. The adapter utilizes CX4 copper cabling, which is cost-effective and capable of delivering excellent signal integrity over short distances, making it an ideal solution for within-rack or closely positioned systems connectivity. With its advanced features, such as support for jumbo frames, TCP/IP offloading, and quality of service (QoS) prioritization, the IBM 5732 enhances network efficiency and reduces CPU load, enabling more resources to be available for critical applications. This adapter is particularly well-suited for environments that demand high levels of data throughput and low latency, such as cloud data centers, financial trading platforms, and multimedia content distribution networks.
