Silicom Quad-Port 10GbE SFP+ Fiber Bypass Server Adapter (NIC). Based on Intel XL710 Controller. P/N: PE310G4BPI71-SR.

This is a Silicom Quad-Port 10GbE SFP+ Fiber Bypass Server Adapter (P/N: PE310G4BPI71-SR), powered by the high-performance Intel XL710 controller. This specialized adapter is designed for critical in-line network appliances where uptime is paramount. Its essential bypass feature provides a fail-safe mechanism, ensuring network traffic continues to flow uninterrupted even if the appliance itself loses power or experiences a failure.

Key Features

• Bypass / Failover Functionality: The most important feature of this card. Onboard relays automatically switch to a "bypass" mode during a power or system failure, physically connecting the input/output port pairs to maintain the network link and prevent an outage.

• Quad-Port 10GbE SFP+: Features four 10GbE SFP+ ports, allowing for high-density fiber optic connectivity in 10-gigabit network segments.

• Intel XL710 Controller: Built on the robust and widely-supported Intel XL710 chipset, known for its stability, performance, and advanced virtualization features (VT-c).

• Designed for In-Line Appliances: An essential component for any device that sits directly in the path of critical network traffic, such as WAN optimizers, firewalls, and intrusion prevention systems (IPS).
