Compatibility & Best Practices

• Ethernet Copper Cables (RJ-45): Standard Cat5e/Cat6/ Cat6A cables with RJ-45 connectors are used with 1 Gb and 10 Gb copper Ethernet ports — IBM does not typically supply long-reach Ethernet copper as system parts, but the part numbers above are reference OEM options.
• DAC / Twinax Cables (10 Gb): IBM lists part numbers for both active and passive 10 Gb SFP+ DAC Twinax cables — your 10 Gb adapter must support the specific cable type.
• External SAS Cables: Part numbers like 39R6532/39R6590 are used with external storage (e.g., DS series) rather than internal server connections.
