StarTech PEX10000SFPI 10 Gbps PCI Express Fiber Optic Card with Intel Chipset and Open SFP

Get advanced connectivity over multimode or single-mode fiber optic cable, by adding a 10GBase-LR/SR open SFP+ port to your server or workstation computer. This fiber optic card delivers reliable, high-performance network connectivity, by adding an open SFP+ slot to your server or high-powered workstation. The Gigabit Ethernet card provides an easy and cost-effective way to upgrade your server or workstation to a 10 Gigabit fiber network using the SFP+ module of your choice and gives you the flexibility to use either multimode or single-mode fiber.

Several factors drive the need for more bandwidth in your network infrastructure. An increase in the number of network users and data-intensive applications, such as multimedia streaming and large file transfers all contribute to the need for more bandwidth in your network infrastructure. This fiber NIC lets you take advantage of the increased speed and stability of a 10 Gigabit network, with data transfers of up to 10Gbps.

The fiber NIC is compatible with most 10GbE SFP+ transceivers. This gives you flexible and scalable configuration options for connecting your computer directly to a fiber network, at greater distances.

The fiber network card features an open SFP Transceiver slot with support for one interchangeable 10GBase SFP+ module. This gives you the option to use the fiber transceiver module that best suits your network needs based on distance and connector type.

The 10 Gbps Ethernet network adapter features the Intel 82599 chipset, delivering the power, performance and enhanced capabilities you need for reliable network connections to your server or computer. The Intel chip offers many advanced features including Intel Virtualization Technology for Connectivity, PXE network boot support and up to 15K jumbo frame support.
