Q-LOGIC QLE2692-SR 16 Gbps PCIe 3.0 x8 Dual-Port Fibre Channel HBA

SKU CH-64VN-S8J2W

Dual-port 16 Gbps Fibre Channel HBA connects servers to storage over PCIe 3.0 x8

  • InterfacePCI-Express
  • Dual-port design doubles connectivity for redundant storage paths
  • 16 Gbps Fibre Channel speed moves large datasets quickly
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 interface provides high-throughput host connection
  • SFP transceivers allow flexible fibre cabling choices
  • Enterprise-class HBA ensures reliable SAN integration

Dual-Port 16 Gbps Fibre Channel HBA

The Q-Logic QLE2692-SR is a dual-port host bus adapter designed for enterprise storage networks. It delivers 16 Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity through two SFP ports. The card targets administrators who need reliable SAN access for mission-critical applications.

PCIe 3.0 x8 interface limits total throughput

The adapter uses a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot, which caps aggregate bandwidth at the bus level. Each port runs at 16 Gbps, so combined traffic can saturate the link under heavy load. Systems limited to PCIe 2.0 or x4 slots will reduce available headroom further.

Low-profile bracket fits dense server chassis

A standard low-profile bracket allows installation in 1U and blade servers where full-height cards cannot fit. Dual SFP cages accept short-range transceivers for multimode fibre cabling. The design supports hot-plug optics so links can be changed without powering down the host.

Questions about this item

Is the QLE2692-SR sold as a single card or a pair?

The QLE2692-SR is a single dual-port host bus adapter; both 16 Gbps Fibre Channel ports are on one PCIe 3.0 x8 bracket.

What does the 16 Gbps rating mean for actual storage traffic?

Each port provides a 16 Gbps Fibre Channel link, so throughput scales with the fabric and target devices connected to the two SFP ports.

Does the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface limit the 16 Gbps line rate?

The x8 slot supplies enough bandwidth for both 16 Gbps ports to run at line rate simultaneously.
