provides Ethernet connectivity at a data rate of 1 Gbps and are connected with unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) Ethernet cables. The link aggregation and failover features of the adapter are ideal for critical
network applications that require redundancy and high availability. Figure 34shows the FC 5745 adapter.
Note: The SFP+ twinaxialial copper cables have connectors that are not the same as the AS/400 5250
connector, the CX4 connector, or the 10 GBASE-T connector.
