StarTech.com 2-Port 10Gbps SFP+ OCP 3.0 Server Network Card, Intel X710, SFF 4C+ Compatible, Dual-Port OCP NIC, Windows/Linux

The 2-port 10Gbps network interface card with the Intel X710-BM2 controller adds two open SFP+ slots to a server, increasing connectivity options and network performance. The network adapter card uses the Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 (168-pin 4C+) connector, which was designed for servers to reduce size, increase port density, and provide hot-swappable capabilities for simplified maintenance and upgrades. The PCI Express Network Card is compatible with PCIe versions 3.0, 2.1, and 2.0. This card supports 1000Base-T/SX/LX/EX and 10GBase-T/SR/LR/CR for various network configurations and distances. This is ideal for high-speed, low-latency connections such as those used in virtualization, data centers, and cloud computing. It works with any single-mode or multimode MSA-compliant or branded SFP or SFP+ module, active optical cable (AOC), or direct attach copper cable (DAC). Optical fiber allows longer cable runs than copper cabling while eliminating EMI. Network virtualization offloads reduce CPU overhead, increasing the efficiency of the virtualized network. PXE boot enables centralized OS deployment and updates. The card also supports 9K jumbo frames for reduced packet overhead and VLAN support for efficient network management. The card is compatible with Windows Server, Windows, and Linux.
