Questions about this item

What is the maximum sustained throughput the PCI Express x1 interface can deliver to the motherboard?

The PCIe x1 link provides up to 250 MB/s of bandwidth between the card and the motherboard.

Does the card generate noticeable noise or heat when running continuously?

The adapter has no fan and draws little power, so it runs silently with minimal heat during all-day operation.

Which SFP transceiver module is required to make the fiber link work?

You must supply a compatible 1000Base-X SFP module; the card ships with an open slot only.
