Product Description
The Qlogic QLE8242-SR-CK is a high-performance dual-port Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to provide robust and efficient connectivity for servers in demanding environments. Featuring a PCI Express (PCIe) x8 interface, this adapter ensures high bandwidth and low latency, making it ideal for applications such as storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing (HPC), and enterprise data centers. The card is equipped with two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots, allowing for flexible deployment with various short-range (SR) optical transceivers. This adapter supports 10Gbps data transfer rates per port, enabling rapid data access and high throughput for critical applications. While often used for Fiber Channel connectivity, models like the QLE8242 can also support Ethernet protocols, offering versatility depending on the specific configuration and installed firmware. The SR optics typically used with this card are designed for short-distance communication, commonly within a data center or across a local area network, utilizing multi-mode fiber. The QLE8242-SR-CK is designed for easy integration into standard server chassis. Its plug-and-play capability, combined with Qlogic's robust driver support, simplifies deployment and management. This HBA is a key component for organizations seeking to enhance their server's I/O performance, reduce latency, and ensure reliable data transmission for mission-critical storage and networking tasks.
