  • Dual QSFP28 ports accept DAC, optics or AOC cables
  • Intel E830 controller delivers proven enterprise networking
  • Multi-rate 28 GbE performance scales with workload demands

Intel OCP 3.0 Adapter for 28 GbE Networks

This Intel E830CQDA2OC3M network card fits OCP 3.0 server slots and provides two QSFP28 ports for direct-attach copper, optical or active-optical cabling. It targets data-centre operators who need 28 GbE connectivity in a compact mezzanine form factor. The adapter suits hyperscale and enterprise racks that standardise on the OCP 3.0 specification.

Sustained 28 GbE throughput on dual QSFP28 ports

Under continuous load the card maintains line-rate 28 GbE traffic across both ports without throttling. The OCP 3.0 interface supplies consistent power and PCIe signalling for long-running workloads such as storage replication or east-west clustering. Thermal design matches the OCP chassis airflow profile so performance stays stable in dense 1U or 2U configurations.

Questions about this item

How much power and heat does the E830CQDA2OC3M generate when running continuously?

The adapter uses QSFP28 ports and the OCP 3.0 form factor; typical power draw depends on the installed transceiver and link speed, so consult the Intel datasheet for exact thermal design power.

What cabling or transceivers must I already have to use the QSFP28 ports on this card?

The ports accept direct-attach copper cables, optical transceivers or active optical cables that match the required reach and data rate; choose the media type that fits your switch and distance.
