Dell 0W807F 2-Port 10Gb/s SFP+ Gigabit Ethernet 10GBase-X Network Card

Product Description

The Dell 0W807F is a high-performance dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) Network Interface Card (NIC) specifically designed for server environments. It provides two SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) ports, enabling high-speed network connections over fiber optic cabling. The SFP+ interface allows for flexibility in choosing transceivers suitable for different distances and fiber types, such as multimode for shorter runs (e.g., 10GBase-SR) or single-mode for longer distances (e.g., 10GBase-LR). This adapter connects to the server's motherboard via a PCI Express (PCIe) interface, typically a PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 slot, ensuring ample bandwidth to support the full 10Gb/s speed of both ports concurrently. By offering dual ports, it supports network redundancy (failover) or allows for separate network connections, such as for storage traffic and management traffic. The adapter is engineered to offload network processing tasks from the server's CPU, freeing up processing power for applications and improving overall system performance. The 0W807F is designed for demanding server workloads, including virtualization, high-performance computing (HPC), storage area networks (SANs), and large-scale data analytics. It is compatible with a wide range of server operating systems, including Windows Server and various Linux distributions. Dell typically provides drivers and management utilities to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance within Dell server platforms, although it can often be used in non-Dell servers as well. The inclusion of both low-profile and full-height brackets ensures compatibility with different server chassis types.
