Converged Network Adapter Features and Specifications
The Sun Storage 10GbE FCoE PCIe Converged Network Adapter is a standard low-profile, dual-port Converged
Network Adapter that is available in two models:
 SG-(X)PCIEFCOE2-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 multimode fiber.
 SG-(X)PCIEFCOE2-Q-TA—This model is intended for use with SFP+ direct attach twin-axial copper cables,
and supports a maximum cabling distance of 10 meters.
The following Express Modules are also available for the Sun Storage 10GbE FCoE PCIe Converged Network
Adapter:
 SG-(X)EMFCOE2-Q-SR—This model ships with SFP+ short range optical modules and supports a maximum
cabling distance of 300 meters over multimode fiber.
 SG-(X)EMFCOE2-Q-TA—This model is intended for use with SFP+ direct-attach twin-axial copper cables,
and supports a maximum cabling distance of 10 meters.
