BFKK 10Gb PCI-E Network Card Dual SFP+ Intel 82599EN Controller

SKU CH-Z2ZR-8R50A

Adds dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports via PCI Express using an Intel 82599EN controller for Windows, Linux and VMware

  • Dual SFP+ ports deliver 10 Gb/s throughput for high-speed networking
  • Intel 82599EN controller supports I/O virtualisation and reduces packet loss for stable operation
  • Compatible with Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012 and Linux for broad OS coverage
  • Low-profile and full-height brackets included to fit standard and compact chassis
  • PCI Express interface enables 10 GbE connectivity for servers and workstations

Dual 10G SFP+ Ports

This network interface card adds two 10 Gb/s SFP+ ports through a PCI Express slot, using the Intel 82599EN controller. It targets administrators and enthusiasts who need 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity for servers, workstations or high-speed storage links. The board fits both standard and low-profile chassis with the included brackets.

Low-Profile and Full-Height Brackets

Both bracket heights ship in the box so the card installs in full-size towers, rack-mount servers or compact mini cases without extra parts. No additional accessories, cables or transceiver modules are bundled; those must be sourced separately to match the desired fibre or copper link.

Broad OS Compatibility

Driver support spans Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2012, Windows 7 and 8, Linux distributions and VMware ESX, letting the same hardware move between hypervisor hosts and bare-metal workloads. The dual-port design provides link redundancy or aggregation, but a single card cannot scale beyond its two 10 Gb/s lanes.

Questions about this item

Will the Intel 82599EN controller on this card need a firmware update later?

The card uses the original Intel 82599EN controller which supports I/O virtualization and effectively prevents packet loss for stable server operation.

What limits throughput first when both SFP+ ports run at 10Gb/s continuously?

Dual 10G SFP+ ports connect to transceiver modules, DAC or AOC to upgrade ethernet speed to 10Gb/s per port.

How much heat does the card produce when running all day in a server?

Low-profile and full-height brackets are included to fit standard and mini cases, aiding airflow in either chassis type.
