Description
PCIe 10GbE Adapter
PCIe 10GbE Adapter is a network interface card (NIC) that is used to connect a server, workstation, or other computing device to a high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network. The term “PCIe” stands for “Peripheral Component Interconnect Express,” which is a high-speed interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer’s motherboard.
A PCIe 10GbE adapter typically connects to a PCIe slot on the motherboard of the computing device and provides a single or multiple 10GbE network interfaces. The adapter can operate at full-duplex, providing up to 20 Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth between the computer and the network.
This high-speed connection can be used to support applications that require high network bandwidth, such as data center applications, cloud computing, virtualization, high-performance computing, and multimedia streaming. PCIe 10GbE adapters can also provide improved network performance and lower latency compared to traditional Ethernet adapters.
There are different types of PCIe 10GbE adapters available in the market, including single-port or multi-port adapters, copper or fiber-optic interfaces, and adapters that support different network protocols such as TCP/IP, iSCSI, and FCoE. The specific type of adapter to choose depends on the requirements of the network and the computing device it is being connected to.
