Dual-Channel Fibre Channel Adapter
The ATTO Technology CTFC-322E-000 is a dual-channel host bus adapter built for enterprise storage networks. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot to deliver two independent 32 Gbit/s Fibre Channel links. This card targets IT teams deploying high-throughput SAN infrastructure.
Passive Cooling and Slot Power
The plug-in card draws its power directly from the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface without auxiliary connectors. A passive heatsink dissipates heat silently, making the adapter suitable for dense rack environments where airflow is managed centrally. No active fan noise is introduced into the server chassis.
Low-Profile Bracket and Dual LC Ports
A low-profile bracket allows installation in 1U or 2U servers where full-height cards cannot fit. Two LC fibre ports on the rear bracket provide the physical connections for dual-path redundancy or separate fabric domains. Standard duplex patch cables lock securely into each transceiver for reliable day-to-day operation.

Questions about this item
How do I install the CTFC-322E-000 into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, and what step is often missed?
Insert the card fully into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot until the bracket clicks, then secure the retention screw; the step often missed is connecting both LC fibre cables to the dual ports before booting.
What maintenance or replacement will the CTFC-322E-000 need later?
The adapter itself has no moving parts; only the LC fibre patch cables may need replacement if connectors are damaged or contaminated during handling.
What limit appears first on the CTFC-322E-000 under sustained 32 Gbit/s loads?
The PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface caps sustained throughput at 32 Gbit/s per channel, so the bus becomes the bottleneck before the dual-port Fibre Channel logic.
