QLogic QLE2692 dual-port Fibre Channel adapter, green PCB, silver bracket

QLogic Corp.

QLogic Corp. QLE2692 16 Gbit/s dual-port network card

SKU CH-9D0M-4TA7A

Dual-port 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel adapter delivering up to 2.6 million IOPS with port-isolation design for predictable scalability

  • Delivers 16 Gbit/s throughput for high-speed storage networking
  • Dual-port design provides 2 independent Fibre Channel connections
  • Achieves up to 2.6 million IOPS total system performance
  • Each port scales to 650K IOPS with linear scalability
  • Port-isolation architecture prevents error propagation across ports

QLogic QLE2692 16 Gbit/s dual-port FC adapter

This QLogic QLE2692 is a dual-port Fibre Channel host bus adapter built for enterprise storage networks. It delivers 16 Gbit/s bandwidth per port to servers running virtualized workloads or private cloud platforms. The plug-in card form factor fits standard expansion slots in rackmount and tower servers. IT teams seeking deterministic throughput for block-storage traffic will find it purpose-built.

Upgrade from 8 Gbit/s single-port adapters

Moving from an 8 Gbit/s single-port card doubles the per-port line rate and adds a second independent path. The jump is worth it when clusters need linear IOPS scaling across ports without cross-port fault propagation. Port-isolation architecture keeps firmware errors contained to one port so the other remains operational. StorFusion integration with Brocade Gen 5 fabrics adds rapid provisioning and SLA-grade diagnostics.

2.6 million aggregate IOPS headroom

The adapter sustains up to 2.6 million IOPS across both ports, with each port capable of 650K IOPS under optimal load balancing. This headroom comfortably handles dense VM clusters, database logs and backup streams sharing the same fabric. Workloads that exceed per-port queue depth or demand more than two independent paths will saturate the card and require additional adapters.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot size does the QLE2692 require?

The QLE2692 is a plug-in card that installs into a standard PCI Express slot inside the server chassis.

Which step is often missed when installing the QLE2692?

After seating the card, the fibre cables must be connected to the two ports before the server is powered on.

What ongoing maintenance does the QLE2692 need?

Firmware updates should be applied periodically, and the SFP+ transceivers or fibre cables should be inspected if link errors appear.
