Dual-port Gigabit fiber adapter

The Intel EXPI9402PF provides two LC fiber connections for 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet over PCI Express 1.0a. It uses the Intel 82571GB controller and supports IEEE 802.3z, 802.3ad and 802.1Q standards for managed server networks. The card fits x4, x8 and x16 full-height slots and operates from 0°C to 55°C.

Standards and management features

IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation and 802.1Q VLAN tagging let administrators shape traffic across both ports. Wake-on-LAN enables remote power-on, while interrupt moderation and multi-CPU load balancing reduce host overhead. Intel PROSet utility simplifies driver installation and ongoing configuration on supported Windows and network operating systems.

Slot height and fiber type check

Verify the chassis has a full-height PCI Express bracket opening; low-profile brackets are not included. Confirm the cabling uses LC duplex connectors matched to the 1000Base-SX optics on the adapter. Ensure the operating system in use is listed among the supported network operating systems before deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the LC fiber connectors need periodic cleaning or replacement?

The dual LC connectors are passive optical interfaces; they require only standard fiber cleaning with lint-free wipes and isopropyl alcohol when inserting or removing patch cords, no scheduled replacement.

What limits sustained throughput on this PCI Express 1.0a card?

The PCI Express 1.0a x4 bus caps aggregate bandwidth at roughly 1000 MB/s, so both 1000 Mbps ports can run at line rate simultaneously without bus saturation.

How much heat does the 82571GB controller generate during all-day operation?

The card is rated for 0 °C to 55 °C ambient with passive cooling; typical power draw stays well within the slot limit, so no active fan is required.
