Four-Port 10GbE SFP+ Card

The STARTECH PEX10GSFP4I adds four 10Gbps fiber Ethernet ports to a server or workstation through a single PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot. It uses the Intel XL710 controller and accepts SFP+ transceivers for multimode or single-mode fiber. The board is built for redundant links in mission-critical environments.

Thermal and Power Profile

The card operates from 5 to 50 degrees Celsius and stores safely from minus 20 to 60 degrees Celsius. Relative humidity tolerance spans 20 to 80 percent non-condensing. Four green link and activity LEDs give immediate port status without extra monitoring tools.

Build Integration

A PCIe x8 or larger slot is required; the bracket measures 0.59 by 5.47 by 4.72 inches and weighs 0.28 lb. Driver support covers 64-bit Windows 7 through 10, Windows Server 2008 R2 through 2016, and Linux kernels 2.6.24 to 4.4.x LTS only. PXE network boot is supported for diskless deployments.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PEX10GSFP4I in a PCIe x8 slot, and which step do builders often miss?

Insert the card into a PCIe 3.0 x8 or larger slot, secure the bracket, then attach the SFP+ transceivers before cabling — skipping the transceiver step leaves the ports inactive.

What ongoing maintenance or replacement will the four SFP+ ports need over time?

The SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable modules; replace any that fail or when you change between multimode and single-mode fibre links.

What thermal limit appears first when the card runs all four ports at 10 Gbps continuously?

The operating ceiling is 50 °C; sustained full-load traffic will hit that internal temperature before the 60 °C storage limit becomes relevant.
