  • Connect up to 550 m over multimode SC fiber
  • 1000 Mbps Gigabit throughput on a single PCIe x1 lane
  • Low-profile bracket included for slim chassis installs

Gigabit PCIe fiber adapter for desktop

This single-port PCI Express x1 card adds a Gigabit multimode SC fiber connection to a desktop or rackmount PC. It ships with both a standard bracket and a low-profile half-height bracket for flexible installation. The adapter complies with IEEE 802.3z 1000Base-SX and supports VLAN tagging, Layer 2 priority encoding and full-duplex flow control.

Sustained throughput at 256 MB/s over 550 m fiber

Under continuous load the card maintains line-rate Gigabit performance across multimode fiber links up to 550 m. Full/half-duplex auto-negotiation and IEEE 802.3x flow control prevent packet loss during prolonged transfers. Jumbo frame support and PCI Message Signaled Interrupts reduce CPU overhead in long-running workloads.

550 m multimode SC reach decides fit

The maximum fiber distance of 550 m on multimode SC duplex cable is the specification that determines whether this adapter matches your link budget. Buyers who need longer single-mode runs or a different connector type cannot use this card.

Questions about this item

Does the PEX1000MMSC2 generate noticeable heat or fan noise when running continuously?

The card is a passive PCIe x1 adapter with no fan, so it produces no fan noise and minimal heat during all-day operation.

What cabling and switch port must I already have to use the SC duplex connector?

You need a multimode duplex SC patch cord and a switch or media converter with a matching 1000Base-SX SC port.

Will this card negotiate correctly with an older 100 Mbps fiber link I still use?

The adapter complies with IEEE 802.3z 1000Base-SX and supports full/half-duplex auto-negotiation, so it will not link at 100 Mbps.
