PCIe2 LP 2-port 10GbE SFP+ Copper Adapter (FC 5286; CCIN 5288)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5286 adapter.
Overview
The PCIe2
LP 2-port 10GbE SFP+ copper adapter is the low-profile version
of the FC 5288 adapter, which is the full-height adapter. The names
of these adapters are:
- FC 5286: PCIe2 LP 2-port 10GbE SFP+ copper adapter
- FC 5288: PCIe2 2-port 10GbE SFP+ copper adapter
The PCIe2
LP 2-port 10GbE SFP+ copper adapter is a generation-2, PCIe low-profile
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 gigabits per second (Gbps), 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 5286 requires an available slot in FC 5685 (PCIe Riser Card (generation-2)).
For details about slot priorities and placement rules, see the PCI adapter placement topic collection for your system.
