Dell H6N50 2-Port 10Gb/s SFP+ PCIE GE 10GBase-X Network Adapter

Product Description

The Dell H6N50 is a high-performance dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network adapter card designed for Dell servers and workstations. It utilizes the PCIe interface to provide a high-bandwidth connection to the server's motherboard, ensuring efficient data transfer for demanding network applications. Each of the two ports is equipped with an SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) cage, allowing for the use of various SFP+ optical transceivers or direct attach copper cables, offering flexibility in network configuration and reach. This adapter adheres to the 10GBASE-X standard, delivering a data transfer rate of 10 Gigabits per second on each port. The dual-port design is highly beneficial for implementing network redundancy, load balancing across multiple network paths, or for connecting to separate network segments. It is an ideal solution for environments that require substantial network throughput and low latency, such as data-intensive applications, virtualization hosts, and high-performance computing environments. As a Dell-validated component, the H6N50 ensures seamless integration and optimal performance within Dell server platforms. It typically incorporates advanced networking features designed to enhance server efficiency and network performance, such as TCP/IP offloading, support for jumbo frames, and potentially hardware acceleration for virtualization technologies like Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV). This network adapter is crucial for modernizing network infrastructure and supporting the bandwidth needs of today's data-intensive workloads.
