SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK PCIe 2.0 x8 Dual SFP+ 10G Fiber NIC X520-SR2 Intel 82599 2pcs Multi-Mode Modules

SKU CH-2C6G-5DYDS

Dual-port 10GbE fiber card with pre-installed SR modules for 300m OM3 links and Intel 82599 offload

  • Intel 82599 controller drives dual 10G SFP+ ports for high-throughput server links
  • Two pre-installed multi-mode SR modules reach 300m over OM3 fiber without extra parts
  • PCIe 2.0 x8 interface fits x8 or x16 slots with both full and low-profile brackets
  • SR-IOV, TCP offload, LACP and 9000MTU jumbo frames lower CPU load in virtualization
  • Passive heatsink enables 24/7 stable operation in NAS and data-center deployments

10G Fiber NIC with Intel 82599

This PCIe 2.0 x8 network card delivers dual SFP+ ports at 10GbE for server, NAS and virtualization workloads. Two multi-mode SR optical modules are pre-installed and support OM3 fiber links up to 300m. A passive heatsink enables 24/7 stable operation in rack environments.

Check PCIe slot and bracket fit

The card requires a free x8 or x16 slot running at PCIe 2.0 speeds. Full-height and low-profile brackets are included for 2U or 4U chassis. Verify that your operating system is Windows Server, Linux or VMware ESXi for driver support.

Pre-installed modules and cable flexibility

The bundled SR modules remove the need to source transceivers separately for short-reach multimode runs. The ports also accept single-mode SFP+ optics and direct-attach copper cables for different distance or cost requirements. SR-IOV, TCP offload, LACP and 9000MTU jumbo frames reduce CPU overhead in virtualized and storage traffic.

Questions about this item

Does the SMUGDESK X520-SR2 card come with the SFP+ modules already installed or do I need to purchase them separately?

The card ships with two 10G multi-mode SR optical modules pre-installed, so no separate transceiver purchase is required for OM3 fiber runs up to 300m.

Should I choose the full-height or low-profile bracket for a 2U rack server?

Both full-height and low-profile brackets are included in the box, letting you fit the PCIe 2.0 x8 card into either 2U or 4U server chassis without extra parts.

What does the 9000MTU jumbo-frame support actually deliver on a virtualised NAS host?

Enabling 9000MTU frames reduces CPU overhead by moving larger data blocks per interrupt, which helps the Intel 82599 controller sustain 10GbE throughput on VMware ESXi, Linux or Windows Server NAS workloads.
