DIGITUS SFP 2 Port 10G PC/Expresscard Intel JL82599ES ChIPSet Optical and Copper modules

Connect your workstation directly to a 10G fiber network with the Digitus Dual Port 10G SFP PCIe network card. This internal PCI Express fiber interface card provides two SFP+ ports and supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging. The Intel-based chipset enables reliable operation and advanced offloading features for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, while dual ports allow up to 20 Gbit/s aggregated throughput in full duplex.

Advantages

The card accepts SFP+ transceivers of your choice, is compatible with x8 and x16 PCIe slots, and supports up to 15.5K jumbo frames. Hardware offloading for IP, TCP and UDP checksums reduces CPU load and improves throughput. Dual SFP+ ports offer flexible connection options and the potential for 20 Gbit/s full-duplex performance.

Suitable for

• High-speed workstation connections to 10G fiber networks
• Networked workstations requiring VLAN tagging (802.1Q)
• Servers or workstations needing low-latency, high-throughput fiber links

How to use

Install the card into an available x8 or x16 PCI Express slot on a powered-off system, secure it to the chassis, and insert compatible SFP+ transceivers and fiber cables into the SFP+ ports. Boot the system and install any required drivers supplied by the operating system or the vendor. Configure IP settings and VLANs (802.1Q) as needed in your network settings or management interface.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use vendor-recommended SFP+ transceivers and quality single-mode or multi-mode fiber cable appropriate to the transceiver type. Ensure BIOS and NIC drivers are up to date and verify PCIe slot bandwidth (x8/x16) to achieve expected throughput. Configure jumbo frames and checksum offloading in the OS to match network infrastructure settings.
