Myricom 10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S 2 x Ports 10Gigabit PCIe 2.0 X8 Ethernet Network Adapter

Product Description

The Myricom 10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S is a high-performance network adapter card engineered to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity. This card is equipped with two SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) ports, which are standard interfaces for 10GbE connections, allowing for the use of various optical transceivers or direct attach copper cables. The primary function of this adapter is to provide the high bandwidth and low latency required for demanding network applications, such as high-performance computing (HPC), data analytics, storage networking, and high-frequency trading environments. Utilizing a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, the 10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S ensures a substantial data pathway between the network adapter and the host system's CPU. The PCIe 2.0 standard offers a bandwidth of up to 4 GB/s in each direction for an x8 slot, which is sufficient to support the full throughput of two 10GbE links without becoming a bottleneck. This makes it suitable for servers and workstations that require significant network I/O capabilities. Myricom is known for producing robust and reliable networking hardware, and the 10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S is designed for mission-critical applications where network stability and performance are essential. The dual-port configuration offers flexibility for network redundancy through link aggregation or for connecting to multiple network segments. This adapter card is a key component for organizations looking to upgrade their network infrastructure to 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds to handle increasing data volumes and improve application responsiveness.
