HPE FC1142SR Fibre Channel Adapter

The HPE FC1142SR is a half-height Fibre Channel host bus adapter with a single LC port. It connects to a PCI Express slot and supports multi-mode optical fibre. The card operates at 4 Gbit/s, 2 Gbit/s and 1 Gbit/s. It is intended for servers that need direct storage connectivity.

Sustained throughput and protocol classes

The adapter maintains line-rate transfer across the supported speeds without burst-only peaks. It implements Fibre Channel Class 2 and Class 3 service for reliable frame delivery. Multi-mode fibre keeps latency predictable over short distances. The single port handles one fabric connection at a time.

Half-height form factor and LC connector

The card measures 6.7 inches by 2.5 inches and fits low-profile brackets. Its single LC interface simplifies cabling to one storage array or switch. The half-height design leaves adjacent slots free for other expansion cards. Multi-mode optics are required for the optical link.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the FC1142SR generate during continuous operation?

The adapter runs without a fan, so heat output is low and handled by the server's standard airflow.

What slot type is required to install the FC1142SR?

A half-height PCI Express slot is needed; the card measures 6.7" by 2.5".

Will the FC1142SR link to an older 2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel switch?

Yes, it auto-negotiates down to 2 Gbit/s and 1 Gbit/s over multi-mode fibre.
