Add-On ADD-PCIE-4SFP+ Quad Open SFP+ Port PCIe x8 Network Adapter

Overview

The Add-On ADD-PCIE-4SFP+ is a PCIe x8 network adapter designed to provide four 10Gbps SFP+ ports for high-bandwidth network connectivity. Leveraging the Intel xL710 chipset, this adapter is suitable for servers and workstations requiring significant network throughput for data-intensive applications, surveillance video streams, or high-performance computing clusters. Its quad-port design offers flexibility for network segmentation or aggregation.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with systems featuring a PCIe x8 slot, supporting PCIe 3.0 specifications for optimal data transfer speeds of 8GT/s. It adheres to the IEEE802.3ae standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The Intel xL710 chipset ensures broad compatibility with most server operating systems and network infrastructure. It is designed for use with SFP+ transceivers (sold separately) for both single-mode fiber (up to 10km) and multimode fiber (up to 550m) connections.

Installation Notes

The ADD-PCIE-4SFP+ features a low-profile form factor, making it suitable for installation in standard rackmount servers and compact workstations. Ensure the host system has a free PCIe x8 slot and adequate cooling, as the adapter operates within a working temperature range of -5°C to 40°C. The Intel xL710 chipset is known for its reliability in demanding environments.
