StarTech PEX40GQSFDPI Dual Port 40Gbps QSFP+ Network Card
Overview
The StarTech PEX40GQSFDPI is a dual-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet network interface card designed to add high-speed network connectivity to servers and workstations. Utilizing the Intel xL710 chipset and a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, this card provides the throughput necessary for demanding applications like high-density surveillance recording, large-scale data transfers, and high-performance computing clusters. Its MSA compliance ensures broad compatibility with various network infrastructure components.
Compatibility
This card is compatible with servers and workstations running Windows and Linux operating systems. It requires a free PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot or larger. The card supports both multi-mode (MMF) and single-mode (SMF) fiber optics via its QSFP+ ports, allowing integration into diverse fiber network backbones. It is designed to work with standard MSA-compliant QSFP+ transceivers and cables.
Installation Notes
The card operates within a 0°C to 57°C (32°F to 135°F) ambient temperature range and requires 5% to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing). It supports Jumbo Frames up to 9K, which can improve throughput for large data packets by reducing the number of packets processed. The Intel xL710 chipset provides robust performance and reliability for continuous operation.
