Quad Port 16Gb Fibre Channel Card

This DELL QLogic QLE2694 expansion card adds four 16Gb SFP+ Fibre Channel ports in a full-height bracket. It is built for servers and storage arrays that need multiple high-speed fabric connections. The card suits administrators expanding SAN connectivity in rack-mounted systems.

Four Ports Decide Density

The single specification that determines fit is the quad-port layout: one card delivers four 16Gb links, so buyers who need only one or two ports should choose a different adapter, while those who need more than four simultaneous links will require additional cards or a higher-port-count model.

Questions about this item

What does the 16Gb per port rating mean for real-world throughput on this QLE2694 card?

Each of the four ports delivers up to 16Gb of Fibre Channel bandwidth, giving the host four independent 16Gb lanes for storage traffic.

What interface standard does the QLE2694 use and what does it limit in practice?

The card uses a PCI Express full-height slot; the slot generation and lane count determine the maximum aggregate bandwidth available to the four 16Gb ports.
