Quad Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet Express Module Server Adapter
Product Description
Silicom’s Quad Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule server
adapter is a PCI-Express X4 SFP Gigabit Ethernet network interface
card that can fit into a 3.5” HD form factor.
The Silicom Quad Port SFP ExpressModule is the front I/O module in
Silicom Server to Network Appliance Converter (SETAC) architecture.
Silicom’s Quad Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule server adapters are based on Intel i350 Ethernet controller with quad
fully integrated Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and PHY.
In addition to managing MAC and PHY Ethernet layer functions, the controller manages PCI Express packet traffic across its
transaction, link, and physical/logical layers.
Silicom’s Quad Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule server adapters are
the ideal solution for implementing multiple network segments, mission-critical
high-powered networking applications and environments within high
performance servers.
