Two-port 10G SFP+ adapter

This network card adds two 10GbE SFP+ slots to a server or workstation through a PCI Express slot. It uses the Intel 82599 chipset and provides up to 20Gbps full-duplex bandwidth per port for high-bandwidth connectivity.

Installation notes

The card fits a PCIe x8 or higher slot compliant with the PCI Express 2.0 specification. A low-profile bracket is included for compact chassis. Common issues include using SFP+ modules that do not match the supported 10GBASE-LR, 10GBASE-SR or 10GBASE-LRM standards.

IEEE 802.3ae and 802.3aq compliance

This adapter is compliant with IEEE 802.3ae for 10GBASE-LR and 10GBASE-SR, and with IEEE 802.3aq for 10GBASE-LRM. Verify that your fibre modules and cabling meet these exact standards before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the card is operating at 10Gbps per port after installation?

Check the link speed in your OS network settings or switch management console; each SFP+ port should report a 10Gbps connection when a compatible transceiver and cable are seated.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The package includes the dual-port PCIe card, a low-profile bracket and a quick-install guide; SFP+ transceivers and fibre patch cables are not included and must be bought separately.

Which version should I choose for a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot?

This model is compliant with PCI Express 2.0 and requires an x8 or larger slot, so it is the correct version for that interface.
