Dell 0KX087 1 x Port 10GBase-SR PCI-X Server Network Adapter Card

Product Description

The Dell 0KX087 is a high-performance network adapter card engineered to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over a PCI-X interface. This card is designed for server applications where high bandwidth and low latency are critical for tasks such as storage area networking (SAN), high-speed data transfers, and demanding network-intensive workloads. The single port configuration focuses on delivering maximum throughput for a dedicated network connection. The PCI-X (Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended) bus provides a wider data path and higher clock speeds compared to standard PCI, making it suitable for bandwidth-hungry peripherals like 10GbE network cards. This ensures that the network adapter can operate at its full potential, preventing bottlenecks between the network and the server's internal bus. The card is built to withstand the rigorous demands of 24/7 operation in server environments. As a Dell-branded component, the 0KX087 guarantees compatibility and reliability within Dell server platforms that feature PCI-X slots. It is an essential upgrade for servers requiring faster network throughput, enabling improved performance for applications that rely heavily on network connectivity. This adapter card represents a significant step up in network speed for older server architectures that may not support newer PCIe interfaces but still require high-speed networking.
