IBM Ethernet Switch B04R (4003-R04), IBM Ethernet Switch B08R (4003-R08), IBM
Ethernet Switch B16R (4003-R16), and IBM Ethernet Switch B32R (4003-R32) to
connect to other network devices at an auto-sensing and auto-negotiated speed of
10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps. Each physical port provides connectivity through an
RJ-45 connector.
48-port Ethernet Module 10/100/1000 MbE (MRJ-21) (#1664): The 48-port
Ethernet Module 10/100/1000 MbE (MRJ-21) (#1664) interface module allows the
IBM Ethernet Switch B04R (4003-R04), IBM Ethernet Switch B08R (4003-R08), IBM
Ethernet Switch B16R (4003-R16), and IBM Ethernet Switch B32R (4003-R32) to
connect to other network devices at an auto-sensing and auto-negotiated speed
of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps. There are eight physical ports with Mini RJ-21
(MRJ21) connectors that each support six 10/100/1000 MbE ports each. A cable
with a MRJ21 connector breaking out into six individual RJ-45 connectors can be
used to connect to each of the eight physical MRJ21 ports to support a total of 48x
10/100/1000 MbE connections from this interface module.

24-port Ethernet Module 100/1000 MbE (SFP) (#1665): The 24-port Ethernet
Module 100/1000 MbE (SFP) (#1665) interface module allows the IBM Ethernet
Switch B04R (4003-R04), IBM Ethernet Switch B08R (4003-R08), IBM Ethernet
Switch B16R (4003-R16), and IBM Ethernet Switch B32R (4003-R32) to connect to
other network devices at an auto-negotiated speed of 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps. Each
physical port requires a qualified SFP transceiver for connectivity.

Transceivers
You must install a SFP, SFP+, or XFP transceiver into each Gigabit Ethernet and 10
Gigabit Ethernet capable SFP, SFP+, or XFP port you want to use. Only IBM supplied
transceivers can be used to populating the ports on these products.
XFP Transceiver 10GB Copper 15m CX4 (#2101): Provides passive 10 Gbps
XFP transceiver (10GBASE-CX4) capable of 15 m over appropriate CX4-grade copper
cables. Receives LC connector.
