ALLNET PCIe 10G x8 Dual SFP+ Fiber NIC Server Adapter - ALL0140-2SFP+-10G (ALL0140v2-2SFP+-10G)

For server administrators and network engineers deploying high-speed 10 Gigabit connectivity in data centers or enterprise networks, the ALLNET PCIe 10G x8 Dual SFP+ Fiber NIC Server Adapter delivers dual-port 10GbE performance over a PCIe 2.0 x8 interface. Built around the Intel 82599ES controller, it provides reliable, low-latency networking for virtualization, storage, and high-throughput applications.

Key specifications

• Host interface: PCIe 2.0 x8
• Ports: 2 x SFP+
• Data transfer rate: 10 Gbps per port
• Chipset: Intel 82599ES
• Supported standards: IEEE 802.3ae, 802.1Q, 802.3x, 802.3ad
• Jumbo frame support: up to 15.5 KB
• Virtualization: VMDq, SR-IOV
• Brackets: full-height and low-profile included

Why choose it

Dual SFP+ ports offer flexibility for link aggregation or redundant paths, while hardware offloads for TCP/UDP/IP checksum and RSS reduce CPU overhead. The adapter supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows Server, Linux, VMware ESX/ESXi, and FreeBSD, making it a versatile choice for mixed environments.

Ideal use cases

• 10GbE server connectivity in data centers
• Network-attached storage (NAS) and SAN environments
• Virtualized server farms requiring SR-IOV for VM performance
• High-performance computing clusters

Good to know

The card includes both full-height and low-profile brackets for compatibility with various server chassis. PXE boot support enables diskless workstation or server deployment. Power consumption is under 8W, contributing to energy-efficient operation.
