Sun 375-3585 Pro/10GbE SR x8 PCI Express Adapter by Intel

Product Description

The Sun 375-3585 is a high-performance network adapter that brings 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity to servers and workstations. Manufactured by Intel and distributed by Sun Microsystems, this adapter is designed to meet the increasing bandwidth demands of modern data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise networks. It features an x8 PCI Express (PCIe) interface, which provides ample bandwidth to support the full speed of 10GbE, ensuring that the network adapter does not become a bottleneck for data transfer. This specific model is configured for Short Reach (SR) optics, meaning it is designed to connect over multi-mode fiber optic cables, typically for distances up to 300 meters (depending on the fiber type and transceiver used). It utilizes an SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) port, which is the standard interface for 10GbE transceivers. Users will need to install an appropriate SFP+ SR transceiver to establish a network connection. Leveraging Intel's robust Ethernet controller technology, the 375-3585 adapter offers reliable and efficient network performance. It is an ideal solution for applications requiring high throughput, such as large file transfers, storage area networking (SAN) over Ethernet, video streaming, and virtualization environments. The adapter comes with driver support for various operating systems, facilitating its integration into diverse server infrastructures.
