Value Brand 10Gb SFP+ PCI-E Network Card Intel 82599EN Single Port PCIe 2.0 x8

SKU CH-3P1G-R8M6G

Adds a single 10 Gb SFP+ port via PCIe 2.0 x8 using an Intel 82599EN controller

  • TypePCI Express to Ethernet Port Card
  • Single-port 10 Gb SFP+ connectivity for high-speed networking
  • Intel 82599EN controller with SR-IOV virtualization support for server stability
  • PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface at 5.0 GT/s compatible with x8 and x16 slots
  • Broad OS support including Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019 and Linux distributions
  • Low-profile and full-height brackets included for standard and slim chassis

Single-port 10 Gb SFP+ adapter for servers

This Value Brand add-in card uses the Intel 82599EN controller to deliver a single 10 Gb SFP+ port over a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface. It targets administrators who need to add 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity to a server or workstation running Windows Server, Linux, VMware ESXi or FreeBSD.

Low-profile and full-height brackets included

Both bracket sizes ship in the box, so the card fits standard rack-mount servers and slim chassis alike. The SFP+ cage accepts 10 Gb transceivers, direct-attach cables or active optical cables, letting you choose copper or fibre links per port without changing hardware.

PCIe 2.0 x8 electrical limit

The edge connector is x8 mechanically but operates at PCIe 2.0 5.0 GT/s, capping theoretical throughput at the lane budget of that generation. Systems limited to x4 or x1 slots will negotiate down and reduce available bandwidth accordingly.

Questions about this item

What practical speed does the PCIe 2.0 x8 interface cap the 10Gb SFP+ port at?

The PCIe 2.0 x8 link runs at 5.0 G T/s across eight lanes, giving enough bandwidth for full 10 Gb/s line-rate on the SFP+ port.

Which bracket sizes are included so the card fits my chassis?

Both a low-profile bracket and a full-height bracket are packed, letting the card mount in standard or slim servers and PCs.

How do I install the driver, and what step is commonly missed?

Use the supplied driver CD or download the Intel 82599EN driver from Intel's site; the step often missed is installing the driver before inserting the card.
