Dual-Port Gigabit Fiber Adapter

The Intel EXPI9402PFBLK adds two LC fiber connections over a single PCI Express 1.0a slot. It targets servers and workstations that need redundant or aggregated 10/100/1000Mbps links without consuming multiple expansion slots.

Full-Height PCI Express Installation

The card fits x4, x8 or x16 full-height PCI Express slots and uses the Intel 82571GB controller. Common issues include missing drivers for older operating systems and ensuring the server BIOS allocates enough resources for both ports simultaneously.

Verify Slot Height and Fiber Patch Cables

Confirm the chassis accepts a full-height bracket measuring 5.1" by 4.7" and that LC single-mode or multi-mode patch cables match your switch transceivers. The adapter operates from 0°C to 55°C and supports Wake On LAN for remote power management.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Intel EXPI9402PFBLK is working correctly after installation?

Check the four onboard LEDs; each port shows a solid light for link and a blinking light for activity at 10, 100 or 1000Mbps speeds.

What comes with the Intel EXPI9402PFBLK and what must I purchase separately?

The adapter includes two LC fiber connectors for immediate fiber-optic cabling; compatible LC patch cables and SFP transceivers are sold separately.

Which PCI Express slot version should I use for the Intel EXPI9402PFBLK?

The card runs on a PCI Express 1.0a bus and fits x4, x8 or x16 full-height slots, so any of those slot sizes will work.
