SUN X4446A Quad Port Server Adapter
The SUN X4446A is a low-profile PCI-E switch module that adds four copper Gigabit Ethernet ports to a server or workstation. It uses the Pro/1000 PT chipset to deliver wire-speed throughput on each port. The half-height bracket fits space-constrained 1U and blade chassis without blocking adjacent slots. This adapter targets administrators who need to expand network connectivity in dense rack environments.
Suited for multi-homed servers needing extra GbE
This module suits IT teams adding dedicated management, storage or VM traffic lanes on existing hardware. It does not serve builds requiring 10 GbE or fibre uplinks, nor does it fit full-height-only backplanes. Buyers who need PoE power delivery or more than four ports should evaluate other options.
