Intel E830XXVDA2 25Gbps SFP28 network card

SKU CH-M1VK-CPSG5 MPN E830XXVDA2

25 Gbps SFP28 network adapter with PCI Express interface supporting 10 and 1 Gbps speeds

  • Rated speed25 Gbit/s; 10 Gbit/s; 1 Gbit/s
  • Interface typeSFP28 ports - DAC, Optics, and AOC's
  • 25 Gbps peak throughput for demanding workloads
  • Auto-negotiates down to 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps links
  • SFP28 cage accepts DAC, optics or AOC cables
  • PCI Express host interface for server-class connectivity
  • Single-port design keeps slot density high

25 Gbps Ethernet adapter

This Intel network adapter connects servers or workstations to 25 Gbps Ethernet fabric through SFP28 ports. It supports three link speeds: 25 Gbps, 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps. The card uses a PCI Express interface for host connectivity.

Best for single-port 25 Gbps links

Suitable for builders who need one 25 Gbps connection using direct-attach copper, optics or active optical cables. Not suited for installations that require dual ports, multi-gigabit speeds beyond 25 Gbps, or form factors other than SFP28.

Single SFP28 port count

The adapter provides exactly one SFP28 cage, limiting the host to a single 25 Gbps network link. Buyers needing multiple ports or a different cage type must choose another model.

Questions about this item

Will the SFP28 ports need different transceivers if I move between 25 Gbps and 10 Gbps links?

The same SFP28 cages accept DAC, optics or AOC modules rated for 25 Gbps, 10 Gbps or 1 Gbps, so you only swap the module, not the card.

What limits sustained throughput on the PCI Express interface?

The card negotiates at 25 Gbps, 10 Gbps or 1 Gbps, so the PCIe lane width and generation in your slot determine the ceiling before the adapter itself saturates.

How much heat does the adapter add when running 25 Gbps all day?

Intel specifies a low-profile, passively cooled design for the E830-XXVDA2, so it relies on chassis airflow rather than an onboard fan.
