Green single-port Fibre Channel card, PCIe 3.0 x8, 168 by 69 mm

BFKK

BFKK QLE2690-SR 16Gb single-port FC network card

SKU CH-TYR5-4DBG4 MPN QLE2690-SR

A single-port 16Gb Fibre Channel adapter delivering 2.6 million IOPS with port isolation for predictable performance in virtualised data centres

  • 16 Gbps Fibre Channel throughput for high-speed storage access
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 interface provides ample host bandwidth
  • Single-port design with port isolation prevents fault propagation
  • Compact 168 mm × 69 mm form factor fits dense servers
  • 6 million IOPS capability supports demanding virtualised workloads

16Gb Fibre Channel HBA

The BFKK QLE2690-SR is a single-port 16Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter for enterprise storage area networks. It installs in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and connects via SR optical cable. The card delivers 2.6 million IOPS with 650K IOPS per port for demanding virtualization and private cloud workloads.

Suits single-port SAN links

This adapter fits environments that need one 16Gb Fibre Channel connection per server. It is not for builds that require dual or quad port density on a single bracket. Buyers needing multiple independent links should look at multi-port alternatives.

Verify PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and SR cabling

Confirm the server has a free PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and that the fabric uses SR optics with matching patch cables. The bracket measures 168mm by 69mm, so check chassis clearance before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does my server need a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot to install this 16 Gbps Fibre Channel card?

Yes, the card requires a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and measures 168 mm by 69 mm, so verify your chassis has the physical space and the correct slot generation.

Will this single-port 16 Gbps adapter work in a fabric built on 8 Gbps switches and cabling?

The adapter operates at 16 Gbps over SR cable and is designed for fifth-generation Fibre Channel fabrics; it will negotiate down to the speed supported by the connected switch and cable.

How can I confirm the card is delivering the rated 2.6 million IOPS after installation?

Use the adapter's comprehensive port diagnostics and StorFusion monitoring tools to measure per-port IOPS, which should reach 650 K IOPS per end under load.
