Intel E810XXVDA2 25Gb Dual-Port SFP28 PCIe Optical Fiber Ethernet Adapter

Port Type: SFP28

Enhanced Flexibility and Compatibility

The Intel E810XXVDA2 Ethernet Adapter features a port type of SFP28, which stands for Small Form-factor Pluggable 28. This port type offers enhanced flexibility and compatibility for users. SFP28 is the latest iteration of the SFP standard, designed specifically for 25 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) networks. With its compact size and high data transfer capabilities, SFP28 ports are widely used in modern networking equipment.

Compact Size

The compact size of the SFP28 port allows for greater density of connections in networking devices. This is particularly beneficial in data centers and enterprise environments where space is often limited. By using SFP28 ports, network administrators can maximize the number of connections without requiring additional physical space.

High Data Transfer Speeds

The SFP28 port supports data transfer speeds of up to 25 Gigabits per second (Gbps). This high-speed capability enables faster and more efficient data transmission, resulting in improved network performance. Whether it's transferring large files, streaming high-definition videos, or running bandwidth-intensive applications, the SFP28 port ensures smooth and uninterrupted data flow.

Backward Compatibility

One of the significant advantages of the SFP28 port is its backward compatibility with previous SFP standards. It can support both 10GbE and 25GbE connections, allowing for seamless integration with existing networking infrastructure. This flexibility eliminates the need for costly network upgrades and provides a smooth transition path to higher speeds when required.

Interchangeable Modules

SFP28 ports are designed to work with interchangeable modules known as SFP28 transceivers. These transceivers allow users to choose the appropriate media type for their specific networking needs, such as optical fiber or copper. The ability to swap modules provides added flexibility and future-proofing, ensuring compatibility with evolving network technologies.

Interface: PCIe

High-Speed Data Transfer

The Intel E810XXVDA2 Ethernet Adapter utilizes the PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) interface for connectivity. PCIe is a high-speed serial bus standard that offers superior data transfer performance compared to older interfaces like PCI or PCI-X.

Bandwidth Scalability

The PCIe interface provides excellent scalability in terms of bandwidth. It offers multiple lanes, each capable of delivering high-speed data transfer. The Intel E810XXVDA2 Ethernet Adapter supports PCIe Gen 3.0 x8, providing a theoretical bandwidth of up to 8 gigabytes per second (GB/s). This outstanding bandwidth scalability ensures that the adapter can handle demanding network workloads without bottlenecks.

Low Latency

Another advantage of the PCIe interface is its low latency characteristics. With reduced latency, data can be processed and transmitted more quickly, resulting in faster response times and improved overall network performance. This is particularly crucial in applications that require real-time data processing, such as high-frequency trading or online gaming.

Hot-Plugging Capability

PCIe supports hot-plugging, allowing users to add or remove the Intel E810XXVDA2 Ethernet Adapter while the system is still running. This feature offers convenience and flexibility, as it eliminates the need to power down the system when installing or replacing network adapters. Hot-plugging can be especially valuable in scenarios where uninterrupted network connectivity is essential.

Speed: 25Gb

Enhanced Network Performance

The Intel E810XXVDA2 Ethernet Adapter delivers a blazing-fast speed of 25 Gigabits per second (Gb). This increased speed provides significant benefits in terms of network performance, enabling faster data transfers, reduced latency, and improved overall efficiency.

Higher Bandwidth

The 25Gb speed allows for a higher bandwidth capacity, accommodating the increasing demand for data-intensive applications and services. Whether it's transferring large files, running virtual machines, or handling high-definition video streams, the Intel E810XXVDA2 Ethernet Adapter ensures that the network can handle the workload without congestion or slowdowns.

Future-Proofing

By adopting the 25Gb speed, users can future-proof their network infrastructure. As technology advances and the need for higher speeds grows, having a network adapter capable of handling 25Gb ensures compatibility with future network upgrades. This eliminates the need for frequent hardware replacements and reduces overall costs in the long run.

Compatibility with Existing Infrastructure

The 25Gb speed is backward compatible with 10GbE technology. This means that the Intel E810XXVDA2 Ethernet Adapter can seamlessly integrate into existing network infrastructure without requiring a complete overhaul. Users can leverage their current investments in switches, routers, and cables while enjoying the benefits of higher speeds.

Connector: Dual-Port

Increased Connectivity Options

The Intel E810XXVDA2 Ethernet Adapter features a dual-port connector, providing users with increased connectivity options. With two ports available on a single adapter, users can connect multiple devices or networks simultaneously.

Load Balancing and Failover

Dual-port connectivity enables load balancing and failover capabilities. Load balancing distributes network traffic across multiple ports, optimizing network performance and preventing bottlenecks. Failover ensures that if one port fails, the other port takes over seamlessly, maintaining uninterrupted network connectivity. These features are particularly crucial in mission-critical environments where network downtime can have severe consequences.

Simplified Network Architecture

The dual-port connector allows for simplified network architecture. Instead of using multiple adapters or switches to accommodate additional connections, users can consolidate their networking infrastructure with the Intel E810XXVDA2 Ethernet Adapter. This streamlines cable management, reduces complexity, and potentially lowers costs associated with additional networking equipment.

Cable Type: Optical Fiber

High-Speed and Long-Distance Transmission

The Intel E810XXVDA2 Ethernet Adapter is designed to work with optical fiber cables. Optical fiber offers several advantages over traditional copper cables, making it the preferred choice for high-speed and long-distance transmission.

Greater Bandwidth Capacity

Optical fiber cables have a much higher bandwidth capacity compared to copper cables. This allows for the transmission of large amounts of data at high speeds without degradation or signal loss. The use of optical fiber ensures that the Intel E810XXVDA2 Ethernet Adapter can fully leverage its 25Gb speed and deliver optimal network performance.

Immunity to Electromagnetic Interference

Unlike copper cables, optical fiber is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI can be caused by nearby power lines, radio signals, or other electrical devices, leading to signal degradation and potential data loss. By using optical fiber cables, users can ensure a stable and reliable network connection even in environments with high EMI levels.

Long-Distance Transmission

Optical fiber allows for long-distance transmission without significant signal degradation. Copper cables have limitations in terms of distance due to signal attenuation, while optical fiber can transmit data over much longer distances without loss of quality. This makes optical fiber ideal for connecting devices or networks that are physically distant from each other, such as different floors in a building or remote locations.
