SKU CH-S1WK-QB1T0

Dual-port 25 GbE SFP28 adapter with PCIe 3.0 x8 interface and both brackets included

  • InterfacePCI-Express
  • Dual 25 GbE ports deliver high-throughput connectivity
  • PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface provides 8.0 GT/s bandwidth
  • SFP28 connectors enable flexible 25 GbE fibre or copper links
  • Low-profile plug-in card fits space-constrained servers
  • Includes both brackets for standard and low-profile slots

Dual-port 25 GbE SFP28 adapter

The DELL XXV710-DA2 00M95 adds two 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports through a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot. It targets servers and workstations that need high-throughput wired links for storage clusters, virtualization hosts or backup networks. The low-profile form factor fits dense chassis while the included brackets support full-height slots.

Passive cooling in server airflow

The card relies on system airflow rather than an onboard fan, so acoustics depend entirely on the host chassis. Power draw scales with link utilisation on the two SFP28 cages, and the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface supplies the necessary bandwidth without an external power connector. Thermal performance is therefore a function of the server's own cooling design.

Upgrade from 10 GbE or single-port 25 GbE

This adapter replaces older 10 Gigabit NICs when the fabric has moved to 25 GbE switching, or adds a second port for link aggregation and failover. The jump is worth it when the network core already runs 25 GbE and the workload saturates a single 10 GbE lane, but it does not help if the upstream switch ports remain at lower speeds.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DELL XXV710-DA2 00M95 into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and which bracket should I use?

Align the card with a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot running at 8.0 GT/s, secure it with the screw, then attach either the low-profile or full-height bracket supplied in the box before closing the chassis.

What maintenance will the DELL XXV710-DA2 00M95 need and when should I replace the SFP28 modules?

Keep the card’s heatsink free of dust using compressed air; the SFP28 transceivers are hot-swappable, so replace them only when link errors appear or you change the fibre type.

What throughput limit appears first on the DELL XXV710-DA2 00M95 during sustained 25 GbE traffic?

Each port is capped at 25 Gigabit LAN, so the 25 GbE line rate is the first ceiling you hit before the PCI Express 3.0 x8 bus becomes a factor.
