PCIe 2.1 x4 single-port fibre adapter
This Axiom 394793-B21-AX network connector adds one SFP fibre port to a server or workstation through a PCI Express 2.1 x4 slot. It is built for IT teams that need a dedicated 1000Base-SX link in an HP-branded environment. The plug-in card form factor fits standard expansion bays without requiring a proprietary chassis.
Sustained 1 Gbps optical throughput
The adapter maintains line-rate 1 Gbps traffic over optical fibre during continuous workloads rather than only in short bursts. Enterprise-class testing validates long-term reliability for high-transaction and mission-critical applications. Virtualisation optimisation helps consolidate I/O while protecting existing infrastructure investments.
PCIe 2.1 x4 bandwidth ceiling
The four-lane PCI Express 2.1 interface caps total bidirectional throughput at the electrical limit of that generation. A single SFP port cannot exceed the 1 Gbps media rate of 1000Base-SX regardless of slot headroom. Builders needing multiple fibre links or higher line speeds must select a different adapter.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the PCIe 2.1 x4 adapter add when it runs all day?
The card draws power through the PCI Express 2.1 x4 slot and has no active cooling, so it adds only a small amount of heat inside the server chassis.
What SFP transceiver do I need before this adapter will link up?
You must supply a 1000Base-SX SFP module; the adapter itself has an empty SFP cage and ships without a transceiver.
Will the card work in an older server that only has 32-bit PCI slots?
No, the adapter requires a PCI Express 2.1 x4 slot and is not compatible with legacy 32-bit PCI expansion slots.
