The IBM 15R9481 is a Stomper2-family Ethernet I/O logic card, IBM feature code 57E8, providing a 1 Gigabit Ethernet port over LX (long wave, single mode fibre) media – the longer-reach counterpart to the SX and TX variants of the same card family (feature codes 57E6 through 57E9). LX optics are intended for longer runs between buildings or across a campus, where short wave multimode optics would not reach.
This card belongs to IBM’s Stomper2 I/O daughter card generation for its pSeries/Power server and storage controller platforms. This is a genuine pull from a decommissioned system. Confirm your exact host system and slot type before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies IBM hardware for maintenance and expansion projects.
