StarTech 2-Port Sfp+ Ocp Network Card

Expand the capacity of a server or workstation with dual 10 Gigabit fiber or copper connections using SFP transceivers of your choice.

The 2-Port 10Gbps OCP network card with the Intel X710-BM2 controller adds two open SFP+ slots to a server, thereby increasing connectivity options and network performance.

OCP (Open Compute Project) Interface

The network card utilizes the Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 (168-pin 4C+) connector, designed for servers to reduce size, increase port density, and provide hot-swap capabilities for simplified maintenance and upgrades. The PCI Express network card is compatible with PCIe versions 3.0, 2.1, and 2.0.

10GbE and 1GbE SFP Support

This card supports 1000Base-T/SX/LX/EX and 10GBase-T/SR/LR/CR for various network configurations and distances. It is ideal for high-speed, low-latency connections used in virtualization, data centers, and cloud computing. It works with any MSA-compliant single-mode or multi-mode SFP or SFP+ module, an active optical cable (AOC), or a direct attach copper cable (DAC). Fiber optics allow for longer cable runs than copper cables while eliminating EMI.

Advanced Features

Network virtualization reduces CPU overhead and increases the efficiency of the virtualized network. PXE boot enables centralized deployment and updating of operating systems. The card also supports 9K jumbo frames for reduced packet overhead and VLAN support for efficient network management. The card is compatible with Windows Server, Windows, and Linux.
