Single-port Gigabit Ethernet server adapter with Intel I350 chipset, SFP fiber interface, and advanced power management.
When legacy copper networks fail to meet distance or interference requirements in dense server racks, upgrading to fiber becomes essential without sacrificing slot efficiency. The LREC9250PF-SFP addresses this by providing a compact, low-profile solution that delivers reliable Gigabit connectivity over fiber optics.
Powered by the Intel I350 controller, this adapter supports PCI Express 2.1 x1 bandwidth and integrates Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) with DMA Coalescing. These features reduce power consumption by up to 50% during idle periods, enabling significant energy savings in large-scale deployments while maintaining high throughput via TCP segmentation offload.
Ideal for virtualized environments using VMware or Linux, the card leverages SR-IOV to create dedicated virtual functions for traffic isolation. This bridgeless design minimizes CPU overhead compared to software bridges, offering a cost-effective path to scalable iSCSI SAN connectivity and robust QoS management.
Built on the proven Intel Ethernet Controller I350 for reliable Gigabit performance and advanced feature set.
Supports IEEE 802.3az EEE to reduce power consumption by negotiating low-power idle states during low activity.
Enables Flexible Port Partitioning and SR-IOV to assign dedicated virtual controllers to VMs, reducing CPU overhead.
Native iSCSI initiators and hardware offloads provide cost-effective, high-performance SAN connectivity.
Includes both full-height and low-profile brackets for flexible installation in various server chassis.
