  • Four LC ports simplify multi-mode fibre cabling
  • Supports point-to-point, arbitrated loop and switched fabric topologies
  • Low-profile 4.4" height fits dense server chassis

Enterprise 4-Port Fibre Channel HBA

The QLogic QLE2464-CK is a four-port Fibre Channel host bus adapter built for enterprise storage networks. It connects servers to SAN fabrics through a PCI Express host interface. Four LC multi-mode optical ports operate at 4 Gbit/s each. The card measures 4.4 inches by 8 inches and ships new.

Suited for multi-port SAN links.

This adapter suits administrators who need four concurrent 4 Gbit/s links over multi-mode fibre in point-to-point, arbitrated loop or switched fabric topologies. It supports Class 2 and Class 3 service. Buyers who require single-mode fibre distance, a different port count, or a host interface other than PCI Express should consider other options.

Four LC multi-mode ports at 4 Gbit/s

The decisive specification is the quartet of LC ports running at 4 Gbit/s over multi-mode optical fibre. That port count and speed combination determines whether the card matches the SAN port density and bandwidth budget of the deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the four 4 Gbit/s Fibre Channel ports on this QLE2464-CK adapter work with my existing 2 Gbit/s storage array?

Yes, the adapter supports 4 Gbit/s, 2 Gbit/s and 1 Gbit/s speeds, so it will negotiate down to match your 2 Gbit/s array over multi-mode optical fiber.

How can I verify the card is operating correctly once installed in a PCI Express slot?

Check the link LEDs on each of the four LC ports; a steady green light shows an active Fibre Channel link at the negotiated speed.

Does the box include the multi-mode LC cables or SFP transceivers I need to connect to my switch?

The adapter ships with four on-board LC ports only; multi-mode fiber patch cables and any required SFP modules must be purchased separately.
