Axiom

Axiom 430-4436-AX 10Gb dual-port SFP+ PCIe 2.0 x8 network card

SKU CH-KFET-74FBC MPN 430-4436-AX

A dual-port 10 Gb SFP+ PCIe 2.0 x8 network card for optical fibre server links

  • Weight0.24
  • 10 Gb dual-port throughput via two SFP+ cages
  • PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface for server compatibility
  • Low-profile 6.5" × 2.7" form factor fits dense chassis
  • Weighs only 3.84 oz for minimal load
  • Three-year limited warranty included

Dual-port 10Gb SFP+ server NIC

The Axiom 430-4436-AX adds two 10Gb SFP+ ports to a server through a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot. It targets administrators who need optical fibre uplinks for storage or virtualisation traffic.

Low-profile plug-in card for rack servers

The card measures 6.5 inches long, 2.7 inches deep and 0.5 inches tall, weighing 3.84 ounces. Its low-profile bracket fits standard 1U and 2U chassis, and the SFP+ cages accept common optical transceivers for single-mode or multi-mode fibre runs.

PCIe 2.0 x8 bandwidth ceiling

The eight-lane generation 2.0 interface supplies up to 4 GB/s of host bandwidth, which bounds combined throughput from both 10Gb ports. Servers limited to PCIe 2.0 slots will not reach the theoretical line rate of two full 10Gb links simultaneously.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface cap at for this 10Gb dual-port SFP+ card?

The PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface provides enough bandwidth to support both 10Gb ports at full line rate simultaneously.

Will the 6.5" height and 2.7" depth fit in a standard low-profile server bracket?

At 6.5 inches tall and 2.7 inches deep, this plug-in card requires a full-height slot and adequate chassis depth; it will not fit a low-profile bracket.

How do you install the SFP+ transceivers into the card, and what is the common mistake?

Insert each transceiver firmly until it clicks into the SFP+ cage; the step people miss is removing the dust plugs and locking the bail latch before cabling.
