Add-On ADD-PCIE-1SX-SFP 1Gbps PCIe Network Card

Overview

The Add-On ADD-PCIE-1SX-SFP is a PCIe x4 network interface card designed to provide a 1 Gigabit Ethernet connection via an open SFP slot. This card is ideal for servers or workstations requiring a dedicated fiber optic network link for high-bandwidth data transfer, such as connecting to network video recorders (NVRs) or high-performance storage systems. Its multi-mode fiber support allows for reliable communication over shorter distances, up to 550 meters, making it suitable for within-building or campus network segments.

Compatibility

This network interface card is compatible with any system featuring an available PCIe x4 slot or larger (x8, x16). It supports standard SFP transceivers, allowing for flexible fiber optic connectivity. For surveillance applications, it is designed to interface with network video recorders (NVRs) and switches that utilize SFP ports for uplinks or direct camera connections, provided the NVR or switch has a compatible PCIe slot for installation.

Installation Notes

Installation requires opening the host system and seating the card into an available PCIe x4 or larger slot. A compatible SFP transceiver (sold separately) must be inserted into the open SFP port to establish a fiber optic connection. Ensure the host system's power supply can accommodate the additional load. Refer to the host system's documentation for specific PCIe installation procedures.
