The QLE8242-SR-CK Qlogic Fiber Optic Card is a high-performance network interface card designed for use in servers and storage devices. This card provides fast and reliable connectivity for data transfer between devices, making it an essential component in modern data center infrastructure. In this article, we will explain in detail what the QLE8242-SR-CK Qlogic Fiber Optic Card is, how it works, and why it is important.
Overview of QLE8242-SR-CK Qlogic Fiber Optic Card: The QLE8242-SR-CK Qlogic Fiber Optic Card is a PCI Express X8 network interface card that provides low-profile connectivity for high-speed data transfer. This card uses fiber optic technology to transfer data at very high speeds over long distances. It is designed for use in servers and storage devices that require fast and reliable connectivity.
The QLE8242-SR-CK Qlogic Fiber Optic Card supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware. It provides dual-port connectivity, which allows for redundancy and load balancing. This card is designed to provide high-performance connectivity for applications that require low latency, such as high-performance computing, database access, and virtualization.
PCI Express X8PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard that provides faster data transfer rates than traditional PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) buses. The QLE8242-SR-CK Qlogic Fiber Optic Card uses the PCI Express X8 interface, which provides eight lanes of data transfer for high-speed connectivity.
Low-Profile:
The QLE8242-SR-CK Qlogic Fiber Optic Card is designed to be a low-profile card, which means that it is designed to fit into low-profile slots in servers and storage devices. This allows for greater flexibility in designing server and storage solutions that require high-speed connectivity.
Fiber Optic Technology
The QLE8242-SR-CK Qlogic Fiber Optic Card uses fiber optic technology to transfer data between devices. Fiber optic technology uses light to transmit data instead of electrical signals. This allows for faster data transfer rates and longer distances between devices. Fiber optic cables are also less susceptible to electromagnetic interference, which makes them more reliable for data transfer.
Fiber optic technology is widely used in modern data center infrastructure because it provides fast and reliable connectivity for applications that require high-performance networking, such as virtualization and high-performance computing. The QLE8242-SR-CK Qlogic Fiber Optic Card is an essential component in modern data center infrastructure because it provides fast and reliable connectivity for these applications.
