Emulex LP1050DC-E dual-channel Fibre Channel HBA card with standard bracket

Emulex

Emulex LP1050DC-E LightPulse 2Gb Dual Channel 64Bit 133MHz PCI-X Fibre Channel HBA Standard Bracket

SKU CH-MCM9-WRRP3

A dual-channel 2 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter with a 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X interface for server and workstation storage connectivity

  • Dual-channel design doubles throughput for storage networks
  • 64-bit PCI-X interface at 133 MHz moves data efficiently
  • Two independent ports provide path redundancy for servers
  • LightPulse controller offloads protocol work from the host CPU
  • Standard bracket fits common server chassis slots

Emulex LP1050DC-E Dual Channel HBA

The Emulex LP1050DC-E is a dual-channel Fibre Channel host bus adapter built for server and workstation environments. It operates on a 64-bit PCI-X bus at 133 MHz and delivers 2 Gb throughput per channel. The card ships with a standard bracket installed.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that your system provides an available 64-bit PCI-X slot running at 133 MHz and that the standard bracket matches your chassis form factor. Confirm the operating system includes driver support for this Emulex LightPulse controller. Ensure the server or workstation power budget can accommodate the additional card.

Upgrade Path and When It Makes Sense

This adapter replaces a single-channel Fibre Channel card or an older 1 Gb dual-channel model, doubling available bandwidth for storage networks. The jump is worthwhile when your workload demands redundant paths or higher aggregate throughput on a legacy PCI-X platform. Buyers who need more than two channels or faster link speeds should consider newer bus architectures.

Questions about this item

Does the Emulex LP1050DC-E include cables or SFP modules, or must they be purchased separately?

The adapter ships as a card only with a standard bracket; Fibre Channel cables and SFP transceivers are not included and must be sourced separately.

Should I choose the dual-channel 2Gb version or a single-channel alternative for my server?

The dual-channel 2Gb design provides two independent 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X ports, doubling fabric connectivity over a single-channel card for redundant paths or separate storage networks.

What does the 2Gb Fibre Channel speed mean for actual throughput in a 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X slot?

Each port delivers up to 2Gb/s Fibre Channel bandwidth; the 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X bus offers ample headroom so the HBA can sustain near line-rate transfers without bus saturation.
