Shopricom supplies you with high quality IBM 5774 4 Gigabit PCI Express Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter ideal for small and medium or distributed large enterprise businesses. The IBM 5774 4 Gigabit PCI Express Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter is a 64-bit, short form factor x4, PCIe adapter with an LC-type external fiber connector that provides single initiator capability over an optical fiber link or loop. The IBM 5774 adapter automatically negotiates the highest data rate between the adapter and an attaching device at 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps of which the device or switch is capable. Distances between the adapter and an attaching device or switch can reach up to 500 meters running at 1 Gbps data rate, up to 300 meters running at 2 Gbps data rate, and up to 150 meters running at 4 Gbps data rate. When used with IBM® Fibre Channel storage switches supporting long-wave optics, the IBM 5774 adapter can reach distances of up to 10 kilometers running at either 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps data rates.

The IBM 5774 4 Gigabit PCI Express Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter can be used to attach devices either directly, or by means of Fibre Channel switches. If you are attaching a device or switch with a SC type fiber connector, you must use an LC-SC 50 micron fiber converter cable (#2456) or a LC-SC 62.5 micron fiber converter cable (#2459).
