QLE8442-SR - QLogic Dual-Ports PCIe Gen3 to 10Gb/s SR Optics Network Adapter

Description

The QLogic QLE8442-SR is a high-performance dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter Card designed to meet the demanding bandwidth and low-latency requirements of modern enterprise data centers and high-performance computing environments. It features two 10Gb/s Ethernet ports, each utilizing an SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) connector, which allows for the use of various 10Gb/s transceivers, including SR (Short Reach) optics for multi-mode fiber connections over shorter distances. Leveraging the PCI Express 3.0 interface with an x8 lane configuration, this adapter card provides ample bandwidth to the host system, ensuring that the network throughput is not bottlenecked by the adapter itself. This makes it an ideal choice for servers running intensive applications, storage area networks (SANs), virtualization hosts, and other workloads that require high-speed data transfer and minimal latency. The QLE8442-SR is engineered for reliability and efficiency, offering features that optimize network performance and reduce CPU overhead. Its dual-port design provides redundancy and increased bandwidth capacity, enhancing the overall resilience and performance of the network connection. This adapter card is a critical component for building robust and high-speed network infrastructures.
