PCIE NIC, Single Port QSFP+ 40Gb with Intel® XL710AM2 Controller

<p>Upgrade your high-performance network applications with the NICPCIE-1QSFP-40G, a PCI Express x8 single-port 40G Ethernet server adapter. Specifically designed for demanding environments such as data centres and high-end servers, this adapter ensures your network's input/output is no longer a bottleneck, providing optimised 40 Gigabit performance. <br><br>At the heart of this adapter is a high-performance Intel XL710 Ethernet controller that manages both MAC and PHY Ethernet layer functions. It significantly boosts system efficiency by using hardware acceleration to offload tasks like TCP/UDP/IP checksum calculations and TCP partitioning from the host CPU. This frees up valuable processor resources for critical applications.<br><br>Built on a high-speed PCI Express v3.0 x8 interface, the adapter is also backward compatible with PCIe v2.0 and v2.1, ensuring flexible integration into a wide range of systems. It provides comprehensive support for network virtualisation technologies, making it an ideal solution for modern, agile data centre environments. </p><h3>FEATURES</h3><ul> <li>Single Port 40Gbps QSFP+ Connectivity </li> <li>High-speed PCI Express (PCIe) v3.0 (8.0GT/s) x8 lanes </li> <li>Advanced Network Virtualisation support including VXLAN, NVGRE, Geneve, and SR-IOV </li> <li>Hardware acceleration offloads for CPU-intensive tasks </li> <li>Support for iSCSI, FCoE, and PXE boot </li> <li>IEEE 802.1q VLAN support for network segmentation </li> <li>Jumbo Frames support for increased throughput </li> <li>Includes both low-profile and full-height brackets </li></ul><h3>SPECIFICATIONS</h3><ul> <li><strong>Controller:</strong> Intel XL710 </li> <li><strong>Bus Type:</strong> PCI Express v3.0 (8.0GT/s) x8, compatible with x16 </li> <li><strong>Data Rate Per Port:</strong> 40Gbps </li> <li><strong>Connector:</strong> 1 x QSFP+ </li> <li><strong>Power Consumption:</strong> 4.6W </li> <li><strong>Supported Operating Systems:</strong> Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Windows Server 2008 R2/2012 R2/2016 R2/2019 R2, Linux Kernel 3.x/4.x, CentOS/RHEL 6.5/7.x, Ubuntu 14.x/15.x/16.x, VMware ESX/ESXi 4.x/5.x/6.x or later </li> <li><strong>Standards Compliant:</strong> IEEE 802.3ba, IEEE 802.3x, IEEE 802.1q, IEEE 802.3ad, IEEE 802.3az </li> <li><strong>Operating Temperature:</strong> 0°C to 55°C </li> <li><strong>Dimensions (L x W x H):</strong> 165mm x 120mm x 21mm </li> <li><strong>Weight:</strong> 170g </li></ul><h3>WARRANTY</h3><p>1-Year Limited Warranty</p>
