Intel Ethernet SFP+ Twinaxial Cable


The Intel Ethernet Network Adapter X520 family with SFP+ connectivity delivers the most flexible and scalable Ethernet Adapters for today???s demanding data center environments. The escalation deployments of multi-core processor-based servers and demanding applications such as server virtualization, High Performance Computing (HPC), unified storage deployments, and video on-demand are driving the need for 10 Gigabit connections. Customers require flexible and scalable I/O solutions meet the rigorous requirements of these deployments.


Powered by Intel???s third-generation 10 GbE network controller, the Intel Ethernet 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, the X520 server adapter family addresses the demanding needs of the next-generation data center by providing unmatched features for virtualization, flexibility for LAN and SAN networking, and proven reliable performance.


To ensure maximum flexibility, Intel uniquely supports the ability to mix any combination of SFP+ Optical Modules, direct attach copper cables or 1000BASE-T SFP modules on the Intel Ethernet X520 Adapters. For Instance, customers can remove the optical modules that come installed on the adapter and replace them with an Intel Ethernet SFP+ Optic, an Intel Ethernet SFP+ Twinaxial Cable, or a 1000Base-T SFP Module. Intel Ethernet SFP+ Twinaxial Cables are ideal for short distances and offer a highly cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks. The cables are available in three lengths; 1, 3, and 5 meters, enabling customers to create the configuration that best meets the needs of their data center environment.
