Product Description
The Dell C8Y42 is a high-speed network adapter card featuring two 40 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) QSFP+ ports. This adapter is designed to provide substantial bandwidth and low latency, making it an ideal choice for servers in demanding environments such as enterprise data centers, cloud computing platforms, and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. The dual-port configuration allows for increased network throughput through link aggregation or provides connectivity to multiple network segments for redundancy or specialized traffic management. Leveraging a PCIe interface, the C8Y42 ensures efficient data transfer between the network adapter and the server's system resources. While the specific PCIe generation (e.g., PCIe 3.0, 4.0) is not explicitly stated in the title, it is designed to match the high-speed requirements of 40GbE, typically utilizing PCIe 3.0 x8 or higher for optimal performance. This ensures that the adapter is not a bottleneck for network traffic. The card supports 40GBase-X Ethernet, which is the standard for 40 Gigabit Ethernet over various media, including optical fiber using QSFP+ transceivers. This enables flexible deployment options depending on the required reach and infrastructure. The Dell C8Y42 is a key component for building robust, high-performance network infrastructures that require massive data throughput.
