Product Overview

NIC-2QSFP+is a PCIe x8 40Gbps Dual-Port Fiber Sever Ethernet Adapter based on Intel XL710 chipset, and is compatible with PCIe x16 slot. In addition to managing MAC and PHY Ethernet layer functions, the controller manages PCI Express packet traffic across its transaction, link, and physical/logical layers. Using hardware acceleration, the controller offloads tasks from the host, such as TCP/UDP/IP checksum calculations and TCP segmentation.

The product of this seris is the ideal solution for implementing multiple network segments, mission-critical high-powered networking applications and environments within high performance servers.

All Description 2xQFP+ 40 Gigabit Server Adapter

Description

NIC-2QSFP+, Dual QSFP+ Fiber 40 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express server adapter is designed for Servers and high-end appliances. NIC-2QSFP+ offer simple integration into any PCI Express X8 to 40 Gigabit Networks. The performance is optimized so that system I/O is not the bottleneck in high-performance networking applications.

NIC-2QSFP+ is based on Intel XL710BM2 Ethernet controller with two fully integrated Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and XLPPI Interface.
