IBM 00E1577 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 00E1577 is a PCIe LP 2-port 1GbE SX adapter, feature code 5274, CCIN 5768, providing two 1000Base-SX fibre Ethernet ports from a single low-profile PCIe slot. Each port uses shortwave multimode fibre and supports link distances up to 260m on 62.5-micron or 550m on 50-micron cable, giving a Power Systems server fibre-based Gigabit connectivity where copper is impractical or where electrical isolation is required. Genuine replacements are a routine requirement when expanding network I/O or replacing a faulted adapter, and fibre-based ports of this kind remain useful wherever a copper run is not practical between cabinets. Specifiers should confirm low-profile bracket compatibility with their chassis before ordering.
