Green circuit board with two SFP+ cages and gold PCIe x8 edge connector

Axiom

Axiom 49Y7960-AX 10Gb dual-port SFP+ PCIe 2.0 x8 network card

SKU CH-JJ2Z-DA02T MPN 49Y7960-AX

Dual-port 10 Gb SFP+ PCIe 2.0 x8 server network card for optical fibre links

  • Product weight0.24
  • Dual 10Gb SFP+ ports double server bandwidth
  • PCIe 2.0 x8 host interface fits standard server slots
  • Low-profile 6.5" × 2.7" form factor saves chassis space
  • Light 3.84 oz weight eases dense rack builds
  • Three-year limited warranty backs long-term deployment

Dual-port 10Gb SFP+ server NIC

The Axiom 49Y7960-AX adds two 10GBase-X optical ports to a server through a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot. It targets administrators who need fibre uplinks without replacing existing expansion infrastructure. The plug-in card measures 6.5" by 2.7" and weighs 3.84 oz. It carries a three-year limited warranty.

PCIe 2.0 x8 bandwidth ceiling

The eight-lane generation 2.0 interface caps theoretical throughput below the combined line rate of two 10Gb ports. In practice this means sustained bidirectional traffic can saturate the bus. Buyers who need full wire-speed on both links simultaneously should verify their platform can allocate the required bandwidth.

Two SFP+ cages define density

Only two transceiver cages are present, so the card cannot scale beyond a pair of fibre links. Environments that require four or more 10Gb connections from a single slot must choose a different adapter. The 0.5" slot profile fits standard low-profile brackets.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this dual-port SFP+ card or a single-port alternative?

This card provides two SFP+ ports so a single PCIe 2.0 x8 slot delivers two independent 10 Gb/s optical links for redundancy or link aggregation.

What does the 10 Gb/s rating mean once the card is installed in a server?

Each SFP+ port operates at 10 Gb/s over optical fiber using 10GBase-X signalling, so the server sees two full-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections.

How does the PCIe 2.0 x8 interface affect real-world throughput?

The PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface supplies enough bandwidth for both 10 Gb/s ports to run at line rate simultaneously without bottleneck.
