Dell 430-0774 2-Port 10Gb/s SFP+ PCIE 2.0 x8 GE 10GBase-X Network Card

Product Description

The Dell 430-0774 is a high-performance network adapter designed to provide robust 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Equipped with two SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) ports, this card allows for flexible network configurations using various optical transceivers, enabling connections over different fiber optic cable types and distances. The 10Gb/s speed per port delivers substantial bandwidth, making it ideal for demanding network environments such as data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise networks. Utilizing the PCIe 2.0 x8 interface, the card ensures ample bandwidth between the network adapter and the host system's CPU. The PCIe 2.0 standard offers a theoretical throughput of 4 GB/s in each direction for an x8 slot, which is sufficient to saturate both 10Gb/s ports under heavy load. This high-speed interface is crucial for applications that require rapid data transfer, such as large file transfers, storage area networks (SANs), and video streaming. This network card is a key component for servers and workstations that need to connect to high-speed network infrastructure. It supports the 10GBase-X standard, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of 10 Gigabit Ethernet equipment. The dual-port design also offers redundancy and the ability to implement link aggregation for increased throughput and fault tolerance.
