Dual-Port 10Gb SFP+ Server Adapter

This Axiom E10G42BTDA-AX network card adds two 10Gb SFP+ ports to a server via a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot. It supports optical fibre media for high-speed data links. The low-profile plug-in form factor measures 6.5 by 2.7 by 0.5 inches and weighs approximately 3.84 ounces. A three-year limited warranty covers the unit.

Suited For Optical Fibre Uplinks

IT teams upgrading rack-mount servers to 10Gb fibre uplinks will find the dual-port layout convenient for link aggregation or separate networks. Builders who require copper twisted-pair connections or a single-port design should consider a different adapter. The card targets server installations only.

PCI Express 2.0 x8 Host Interface

The card connects through a PCI Express 2.0 x8 edge connector, which determines whether it fits the target server. Verify that the host system provides an available x8 slot running at Gen 2 speeds before purchasing. Physical dimensions of 6.5 by 2.7 inches must also clear the chassis.
