Lenovo IBM 10Gb Dual-Port FC PCIe Adapter 42C1801 | High Profile

Built for Fibre Channel storage fabrics, this Lenovo DCG sourcing adapter gives server teams a straightforward way to add dual 10 Gb connectivity to compatible PCIe systems. It is aimed at SAN environments where predictable transport, path separation, and stable storage access matter more than general-purpose networking. Dual ports provide flexibility for multipath configurations, fabric segmentation, or redundant connections to storage infrastructure. That matters in environments where a single link is not enough to protect access to critical volumes. The high-profile bracket supports standard rack server installations, helping the adapter fit cleanly into enterprise chassis without custom hardware changes. For teams refreshing storage connectivity, this adapter offers a focused path to Fibre Channel performance without overbuying capacity that will sit idle. It is a practical choice for organizations that need dependable 10 Gb FC connectivity from a vendor-aligned server adapter and want to preserve slot efficiency while maintaining SAN discipline.
