MicroConnect MC-PCIEX8-X722-DA4 - 10 Gigabit Ethernet network interface card

The Microconnect MC-PCIEX8-X722-DA4 is a quad-port 10GbE SFP+ PCIe x8 RDMA network adapter for PCs and servers. It installs into a PCI Express x8 slot and uses the 10GBase-X standard to deliver data transfer rates of 10,000 Mbit/s over fibre optic cabling. Designed for enterprise data centres, this adapter provides wired connectivity and does not support Wi-Fi.

Based on the Intel X722 chipset, this full-height card handles data routing. The mounting bracket features four independent fibre ports for concurrent network links. Each port requires an SFP+ transceiver for connection to the network backbone. This quad-port configuration supports link aggregation or subnet bridging, helping to scale capacity across physical and virtualised servers.

• iWARP RDMA support for low-latency remote direct memory access across the network
• Hardware offload features to reduce host CPU load during data transfers
• iSCSI compatibility for integration with network-attached storage
• PCI-SIG SR-IOV support to optimise routing for virtualised environments
• Intel Data Direct I/O technology to enable direct communication between the adapter and the processor cache
