Compatibility
The IBM EB48 1GB RJ45 SFP Transceiver (00FE333) is compatible with IBM systems, including Power Systems (e.g., 9009-22G, 9009-41G, 9009-42G, 9040-MR9, 9080-M9S, 9223-22S, 9223-42S) and System x servers equipped with SFP ports, particularly the EC2U or EC2T adapters. It supports 1 Gigabit Ethernet connections over twisted pair copper cabling, reaching up to 100 meters, making it suitable for enterprise networks and data centers requiring reliable, short-range connectivity. The transceiver supports Ethernet NIC functions but does not support RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) or Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) when used with EC2U or EC2T adapters. It is not compatible with optical fiber connections or higher data rate SFP+ modules like EB46 or EB47. The EB48 is ideal for applications such as data transfer, virtualization, and database connectivity, optimizing network performance for scalable solutions. Its hot-swappable design allows for easy installation without disrupting network operations, providing a reliable networking solution for demanding environments.
