HPE NC550SFP dual-port 10GbE server adapter plug-in card with two SFP+ cages

HPE

HPE NC550SFP Dual Port 10GbE network card

SKU CH-FKP7-6Y925 MPN NC550SFP

Dual-port 10GbE server adapter with two SFP+ slots on a PCIe 2.0 x8 card

  • Dual 10GbE ports double server bandwidth
  • PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface delivers high throughput
  • Two SFP+ slots support optical fiber flexibility
  • Low-profile 6.6 by 2.7 inch form factor fits dense chassis
  • RoHS-6 and EU WEEE certified for environmental compliance

Server-grade 10GbE dual-port adapter

The HPE NC550SFP is a PCI Express 2.0 x8 network interface card that provides two SFP+ ports for 10GBase-X optical connectivity. It is designed for server environments requiring high-bandwidth wired networking.

Sustained throughput on two 10GbE links

The adapter uses a PCIe 2.0 x8 host interface to deliver consistent bandwidth across both ports under continuous load. Optical SFP+ media supports stable long-distance transmission without the heat or signal degradation sometimes seen with copper at full line rate.

Plug-in card with standard server dimensions

The low-profile form factor measures 6.6 inches by 2.7 inches and weighs 2.20 lb, fitting typical server chassis slots. Installation requires compatible SFP+ optical transceivers, which are not included; ensure the server has an available PCIe 2.0 x8 slot and adequate airflow for the card.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the dual-port 10GbE card add when it runs continuously in a server?

The adapter uses a PCIe 2.0 x8 host interface and two SFP+ optical ports; with no auxiliary power connector it draws all power from the slot, so thermal load stays within standard server airflow limits.

Which SFP+ transceivers and cabling must I already have for the two 10GbE ports to link up?

Each port accepts standard SFP+ optical modules for 10GBase-X fibre; you need two matching transceivers and duplex fibre patch cords rated for the distance you require.

Will the PCIe 2.0 x8 card work in an older server that only offers PCIe 1.0 or 2.0 x4 slots?

The card fits any PCIe 2.0 x8 or larger slot; it will negotiate down to x4 or x1 width and to Gen 1 speed, but 10 Gb/s line rate per port needs the full x8 Gen 2 bandwidth.
