Dual-port Gigabit adapter for fiber servers

The Intel PWLA8492MF provides two 10/100/1000Mbps ports with LC connectors for multi-mode fiber networks. It fits a standard PCI slot and includes full-height and low-profile brackets. The card targets administrators who need redundant links or link aggregation in rack-mount servers.

PCI slot efficiency with teaming support

A single PCI slot delivers two gigabit connections, freeing expansion space for other controllers. Intel SingleDriver technology simplifies driver management across supported network operating systems. Teaming and failover features let the two ports share bandwidth or provide redundancy without extra hardware.

Sustained throughput with on-board buffering

Each port has 64 KB of on-board memory, totalling 128 KB, to absorb bursts and reduce CPU interrupts during continuous traffic. The Intel 82546 controller handles checksum offload and interrupt moderation. Operating limits are 0–55 °C at up to 85 % humidity, so the adapter maintains line-rate performance in dense 1U and 2U enclosures.
