Dell 4KF8J QL41262 2 x Ports 25/10Gb SFP+ Network Daughter Card

Description

The Dell 4KF8J is a high-performance Network Daughter Card (NDC) designed to equip compatible Dell PowerEdge servers with advanced networking capabilities. This card leverages the QLogic QL41262 Ethernet controller, which supports dual-speed operation at both 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GbE) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds. The card features two SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) ports, which are versatile interfaces that accept various transceivers for fiber optic connectivity, enabling flexible network deployments. This NDC is engineered for environments that demand significant network throughput and low latency, such as modern data centers, high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, and enterprise applications involving large data transfers, real-time analytics, or extensive virtualization. The ability to operate at 25GbE provides a substantial performance upgrade over traditional 10GbE solutions, future-proofing server connectivity and accommodating the growing bandwidth requirements of today's applications. As a mezzanine card, the 4KF8J is designed to integrate directly into specific slots on the motherboard of compatible Dell servers, optimizing internal space and airflow. This form factor ensures a clean installation and efficient use of server resources. The QLogic QL41262 controller typically offers advanced features such as RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) support, which can further enhance performance by allowing direct memory access between servers, bypassing the CPU and operating system for reduced latency and increased efficiency.
