Intel� Ethernet SFP+ SR Optics
and LR Optics for the Intel� Ethernet Server Adapter X520
Family
Intel�s family of Intel� Ethernet Server Adapter X520
family with SFP+ connectivity are the most flexible and
scalable Ethernet adapters for today�s demanding data center
environments. The escalating deployments of servers with
multi-core processors and demanding applications such as high
perform...ance
computing (HPC), database clusters, and video-on-demand are
the types of applications driving the need for 10-gigabit
connections. Customers require flexible and scalable I/O
solutions to meet the rigorous requirements of running
mission-critical applications in virtualized and unified
storage environments.
Powered by Intel�s third-generation 10 GbE network
controller, the Intel� Ethernet Controller 10 Gigabit 82599,
the Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X520 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 supports the ability to
mix any combination of the 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+ SR Optic or LR Optic, an SFP+
direct attach copper cable, or a 1000BASE-T SFP module. Intel
Ethernet SFP+ Optics are available in both short range (SR)
850 nm and long range (LR) 1310 nm options.
