PCIe2 2-port 10GbE SFP+ Copper Adapter (FC 5288; CCIN 5288)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5288 adapter.
Overview
The FC 5288 PCIe2 2-port 10GbE SFP+ copper adapter is the full-height version of the FC 5286 adapter, which is the low-profile adapter.
The PCIe2
2-port 10GbE SFP+ copper adapter is
a generation-2 PCIe adapter that provides two 10 Gb copper small form-factor
pluggable transceiver (SFP+) ports for connectivity with other servers
or switches in the network. Each port provides Ethernet connectivity
with a nominal data rate of 10 Gbps (gigabits per second), and they
use SFP+ copper twinaxial cables up to 5 m (16.4 ft) in length.
Note: The
SFP+ twinaxial copper cables have connectors that are not the same
as the AS/400 5250 connector,
the CX4 connector, or the 10 GBASE-T connector.
Each port has a maximum speed of 10 Gbps.
The FC 5288 requires an available slot.
For details about slot priorities and placement rules, see the PCI adapter placement topic collection for your system.
