IBM feature #EB59 is a 100GBASE-SR4 based QSFP28 active optical transceiver for IBM Power Systems servers, FRU 01FT706. In the PCIe4 2-port 100 GbE RoCE x16 adapter (FC EC66 and EC67, CCIN 2CF3), it is qualified for the adapter's QSFP28 ports and reaches up to 100 m through OM4 multimode cable or 70 m through OM3 cable.
The transceiver connects through an MTP/MPO fiber cable: feature EB2J is a 10 m cable and feature EB2K a 30 m cable, with FRU numbers 00VX002 and 00VX004. Either one or both of the adapter's two QSFP28 ports can hold a transceiver. When both ports are filled, both can carry copper cables or both optical cables, or one port can carry a copper cable and the other an optical one.
For the same adapter, #EB59 is the 100GBASE-SR4 option alongside the QSFP28 passive copper cables EB5J to EB5M, from 0.5 m to 2 m, and the QSFP28 AOC cables EB5R to EB5Y, from 3 m to 100 m. The 40 Gb QSFP+ 40GBASE-SR4 optical transceivers EB27 and EB57 use the same MTP/MPO cables.
