IBM - 00JY800 - Flex System CN4052 2-port 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adap

IBM 00JY800 Flex System CN4052 2-Port 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter

The IBM 00JY800 Flex System CN4052 is a 2-port 10Gb Virtual Fabric network adapter built for IBM Flex System compute environments, delivering high-bandwidth Ethernet connectivity and I/O consolidation in a chassis-based design. With two 10Gb ports and Virtual Fabric capabilities, it helps reduce physical cabling while still supporting segmented traffic flows for virtualised and multi-tenant workloads.

For end-to-end integration in Flex System chassis designs, this adapter is commonly deployed alongside compatible fabric infrastructure such as SWITCH options and chassis-level NETWORK MODULE components, helping you maintain a consistent 10Gb-capable data path from compute to the upstream network. As part of the broader IBM ecosystem, it is a practical choice for like-for-like replacements and lifecycle maintenance in established Flex System installations.

Key Features

Key technical highlights for integration into IBM Flex System server deployments:

• 2-port 10Gb Ethernet connectivity to provide high-bandwidth links for virtualised hosts and East/West traffic.
• Virtual Fabric functionality to support logical separation of traffic over fewer physical connections for simplified cabling and I/O consolidation.
• Designed for IBM Flex System chassis architectures to ensure consistent integration with chassis networking and fabric design.
• Compatibility with IBM Flex System compute node families such as x240 and x440 to support maintenance, upgrades, and like-for-like replacements in existing environments.
• VLAN-based segmentation support to separate management, VM, storage, and application networks on shared uplinks.
• QoS capabilities to prioritise latency-sensitive traffic for VDI, voice/video, and critical application flows.
• Enterprise-oriented security features to help control access and protect network connectivity within shared infrastructure.
• Built for 24/7 datacenter operation to provide reliable connectivity for production workloads in Flex System deployments.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished components are a practical way to extend the lifecycle of installed Flex System environments, reduce electronic waste, and control budget compared to buying new.

Direct Hardware Supply is an international supplier of refurbished IT hardware shipping worldwide from Denmark. This product includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries: three-month warranty), with extended warranty options available on request. For related expansion options in server builds, it can also be paired with compatible PCI CARD components depending on your platform configuration.
