PCI Express 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Network
Card w/ Open SFP+ - PCIe x4 10Gb NIC SFP+
Adapter
Product ID: PEX10000SFP
The PEX10000SFP 10 Gigabit Fiber Network Card is a cost-effective solution that delivers fast and reliable
10 Gbps network access at longer distances than copper-based networks. Using the SFP+ transceiver of
your choice, you can connect your PCI Express-based server or workstation directly to your 10G fiber
optic network.
Faster Networking Speed
With the rising strain on network resources due to large file transfers, multimedia content, and an
increase in network users, more bandwidth is often required at various levels of your networking
infrastructure. With up to 10 Gbps bandwidth, this fiber NIC lets you transfer more data at faster speeds,
and is an ideal low-cost addition to your server or high-powered workstation.

Greater Flexibility & Distance
The PEX10000SFP adapts to your network fiber connection and distance requirements to offer flexible
configuration via an open SFP+ slot, and is compatible with most 10GbE SFP+ transceivers. With broad
SFP+ compatibility this cost-effective fiber card lets you use your preferred SFP+ module, giving you
more options to connect your computer directly to a fiber network at greater distances.
Superior Power Efficiency
For improved operating efficiency, the PEX10000SFP features an energy-efficient Tehuti TN4010 chipset
that offers significantly reduced power consumption versus most comparable cards, including the Intel®
82599 chipset cards. Superior power efficiency also helps minimize heat generated by the card, in turn
avoiding an increase in the operating temperature within your server case.
