Deployment / Use Cases
The Axiom 430-4414-AX is ideal for environments where high-speed, reliable network connectivity is critical. Its dual-port design and fiber optic support make it suitable for backbone connections, server-to-server links, and uplinks to network switches in enterprise and data center deployments.
Common applications include connecting virtualization hosts to shared storage, linking database servers in cluster configurations, and providing high-bandwidth uplinks for network appliances. The card's server-focused design ensures compatibility with rack-mounted and tower server configurations where consistent 10GbE performance is required.
Data Center Server Networking
Upgrade server connectivity in rack environments where fiber optic cabling spans longer distances between equipment racks or across data hall floors.
High-Performance Computing
Support low-latency interconnects between compute nodes, storage arrays, and network infrastructure in HPC clusters and research environments.
Physical Profile
The card features a standard plug-in card form factor with dimensions optimized for server PCIe slots. Its 6.50-inch height accommodates full-height server brackets, while the included half-height bracket enables installation in compact or blade server enclosures. The slim 0.51-inch width and 2.68-inch depth ensure compatibility with most server chassis layouts without obstructing adjacent components.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 6.50" (165 mm), 0.51" (13 mm), 2.68" (68 mm), 3.84 oz (108.86 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What type of network cables does this NIC support?
This NIC supports optical fiber cables through SFP+ transceivers. The 10GBase-X technology is designed for fiber optic media, enabling reliable high-speed connections over longer distances compared to copper cables. You'll need compatible SFP+ transceivers and appropriate fiber optic cabling to utilize the ports.
Is this card compatible with my existing Dell server?
Yes, this card is designed for Dell server environments and includes both full-height and half-height mounting brackets to accommodate various server chassis configurations. It requires an available PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot (or higher) and server-grade power delivery. Check your server's specifications for PCIe slot availability and form factor compatibility.
What is the maximum data transfer rate per port?
Each SFP+ port supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit per second) using 10GBase-X network technology. This provides 4000 MB/s of bandwidth per port, with the dual-port configuration offering aggregated throughput up to 20 Gbps when both ports are active simultaneously.
Does this NIC include SFP+ transceivers?
No, the package includes the network interface card and mounting brackets only. SFP+ transceivers must be purchased separately based on your fiber optic cable type and distance requirements. The card accepts industry-standard SFP+ transceivers compatible with 10GbE fiber optic networks.
What is the warranty period for this product?
This Axiom network interface card comes with a 3-year limited warranty. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and ensures reliable performance throughout the coverage period. The product also complies with China RoHS environmental standards for hazardous substance restrictions.
Can I use this card in a workstation or desktop computer?
While primarily designed for server environments, this card can technically install in any system with a compatible PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot and appropriate driver support. However, optimal performance and compatibility are validated for server deployments where sustained high-bandwidth networking is required. Desktop use may require additional configuration and may not leverage all server-specific optimizations.
