PCIe Gen3 16 Gigabit dual-port Optical Fibre Channel (FC) Adapter is a high-performance 8x short form adapter PCIe Host Bus Adapter (HBA). The adapter provides two ports of 16Gb Fibre Channel capability using SR optics. Each port can provide up to 16Gb Fibre Channel functions simultaneously. Each port provides single initiator capability over a fibre link. If you are using N Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), multiple initiator capability is provided. The ports are SFP+ and include an optical SR transceiver. The ports have little connector-type (LC) and utilize shortwave laser optics. The adapter operates at link speeds of 16 Gbps and it will automatically negotiate to the highest speed possible. EN2B has a short tail stock for low profile PCIe slots.
