Green PCB PCIe network card with two LC fibre ports and low-profile bracket

Transition Networks

Transition Networks NGXELC02FC 1000BASE-X network card

SKU CH-ZVMZ-X6P0A MPN NGXELC02FC

PCIe network card with two LC multimode fibre ports for 1000BASE-X at 3.3 V

  • Gigabit fibre connectivity via 1000BASE-X standard
  • Dual LC multimode ports for redundant links
  • PCI Express interface fits modern servers
  • 3 V operation suits standard and low-profile slots
  • Federal-customer designation meets procurement requirements

1000BASE-X PCIe Network Card

The Transition Networks NGXELC02FC is a 1000BASE-X network interface card designed for PCI Express slots. It uses an LC connector for multimode fibre and operates at 3.3V. The bracket supports both standard and low-profile installations. This card targets federal customers who need a fibre uplink on a PCIe bus.

Standard and Low-Profile Brackets

Two bracket options are supplied so the card fits either a full-height or a low-profile chassis. No extra brackets or adapters are required. The dual-bracket approach simplifies deployment across mixed form factors without separate SKUs. Installers choose the bracket that matches the case at build time.

1000BASE-X Fibre Limitation

The 1000BASE-X standard caps the link at 1000 Mbps over multimode fibre with an LC interface. Bandwidth above 1 Gbps is not supported by this card. Distance is constrained by the multimode fibre grade in use. Buyers needing 10 Gbps or single-mode reach must select a different product.

Questions about this item

Does the LC multimode transceiver on the NGXELC02FC need periodic cleaning or replacement?

The LC multimode connector should be inspected and cleaned with a fibre-optic cleaning kit whenever link errors appear; the transceiver itself is not a scheduled replacement part.

What limits throughput first on this 1000BASE-X card during sustained traffic?

The PCIe bus and the 1000 Mbps optical link set the hard ceiling; neither can exceed 1000 megabits per second in either direction.

How much heat and power does the card produce when running continuously?

The adapter draws 3.3 V from the PCIe slot and has no onboard fan, so it adds minimal heat inside the chassis.
