The Intelligent Way to Connect
The Intel^® PRO/10GbE SR Server Adapter—
the industry’s second-generation 10 Gigabit
Ethernet adapter—enables the fastest Ethernet
connectivity available. The Intel PRO/10GbE
SR Server Adapter delivers industry-leading
performance to bandwidth-intensive appli-
cations using a highly integrated PCI-X
Intel^® 82597EX 133 MHz/64-bit 10GbE
controller. High-speed server connectivity—
once reserved for costly proprietary tech-
nologies such as high-performance computing
clusters and grid-based computing—can
now be achieved with the industry-standard
Intel PRO/10GbE SR Server Adapter.
Using the Intel PRO/10GbE SR Server Adapter,
enterprises can cost-effectively deploy 10GbE
to a broad range of servers using lower-cost
multi-mode fiber optic cabling and switching
infrastructure. The 10GbE SR standard enables
10GbE transmissions at distances up to 300
meters using standard multi-mode cabling.
The Intel PRO/10GbE SR Server Adapter helps
improve network productivity and eliminate costly
proprietary networking technologies, while
enabling deployment of standards-compliant
Ethernet connectivity based on IEEE 802.3ae*
10 Gigabit Ethernet standard.
