Overview
C
helsio’s T440-LP-CR is a single QSFP+ port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Uni-
fied Wire adapter with PCI Express 2.0 host bus interface. It is capable
of providing four 10GbE ports by using a special octopus cable that has
a QSFP transceiver on one end and four SFP+ transceivers on the other

The Unified Wire Solution
With the T440-LP-CR, Chelsio is enabling a unified wire for LAN, SAN
and cluster traffic. This unified wire was made possible by the high
and cluster traffic. This unified wire was made possible by the high
bandwidth and low latency of 10GbE combined with storage and cluster
protocols operating over TCP/IP (iSCSI, FCoE and iWARP respectively).
In parallel, operating systems and hypervisors have incorporated native
In parallel, operating systems and hypervisors have incorporated native
support for iSCSI and database applications are now supporting file-
based storage protocols such as NFS as an alternative to SANs.
T440-LP-CR includes a full-fledged integrated Traffic Manager for robust
flow control, traffic management and QoS.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) provides a transition path from leg-
acy SANs to converged networks. Expanding its unified wire approach,
Chelsio has added FCoE hardware support to the new T440-LP-CR

The adapter’s quad ports and IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation/failover
features are ideal for critical network applications that require redun-
dancy and high-availability capabilities.
T440-LP-CR Ethernet-only networking reduces the data center’s cost in
network adapters, cables, switches, rack space, power, equipment
spares, management tools, planning, networking skills, and installation.
