Q-LOGIC

Q-LOGIC QLE2672-CK 16GB Dual Port FC HBA network card

SKU CH-Z2QZ-M243D

Dual-port 16 Gbps Fibre Channel HBA with PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface and LC multi-mode optics

  • Dual-port 16 Gbps Fibre Channel throughput for line-rate I/O
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface eliminates CPU bottlenecks with hardware offloads
  • Low-profile 2.5-inch height fits dense server chassis
  • Includes standard and spare low-profile brackets for flexible mounting
  • WEEE-compliant design backed by three-year limited warranty

QLogic 2600 Series 16 Gbps Dual-Port FC HBA

This QLogic 2600 Series adapter delivers dual-port, line-rate 16 Gbps Fibre Channel throughput with full hardware offloads for extremely low CPU utilisation. It targets virtualised server environments that need high I/O performance for growing numbers of virtual machines.

Low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 installation

The card fits a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and ships with both a standard-height bracket and a spare low-profile bracket for flexible chassis compatibility. The 2.5-inch height and 6.6-inch width suit dense 1U and 2U servers, while multi-mode LC optics simplify cabling.

Dual-port 16 Gbps headroom for storage networks

Two 16 Gbps ports provide aggregate bandwidth for demanding block-storage workloads and high VM density. The adapter runs out of headroom when workloads exceed sustained line-rate on both ports simultaneously or when the host PCIe 3.0 x8 bus becomes the limiting factor.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the adapter is running at the full 16 Gbps line rate after installation?

The adapter delivers dual-port, line-rate 16 Gbps Fibre Channel throughput with full hardware offloads and extremely low CPU usage, so sustained wire-speed traffic and minimal host CPU load indicate correct operation.

What ships in the box and which brackets are included?

The package contains the QLE2672 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter, a standard-size bracket, and a spare low-profile bracket for 2.5-inch height slots.

Which 2600 Series model should I pick for dual-port 16 Gbps connectivity over multi-mode fibre?

The QLE2672-CK provides exactly two LC multi-mode optical ports at 16 Gbps each on a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface in a low-profile form factor.
