Converged Network Adapter Features and
Specifications
Oracle's Sun Storage 10 GbE FCoE ExpressModule Converged Network Adapter is a standard ExpressModule (EM), dual-port
Converged Network Adapter that is available in two models:
SG-(X)EMFCOE2-Q-SR - This model ships with two small
form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) short-range (SR) optical modules and supports
a maximum cabling distance of 300 meters over multi-mode fiber.
SG-(X)EMFCOE2-Q-TA - This model is intended for use with
SFP+ direct-attach twinaxial (twinax) copper cables, and supports
a maximum cabling distance of 10 meters.
 | Caution - Do not replace any of the SFP+ connectors.
Doing so will void the warranty or serviceability of the Converged
Network Adapter. |
Table 1 lists the features and specifications for this adapter.
