FAQ
What type of network connections does this card support?
The PCIE-4SFP-AX supports optical fiber connections through its four SFP ports. It uses 1000Base-X network technology for Gigabit Ethernet performance, delivering data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps. This makes it suitable for fiber optic network infrastructure rather than copper Ethernet connections.
What PCIe interface does this network card require?
This card requires a PCI Express 2.1 x4 slot. The x4 interface provides sufficient bandwidth for all four ports to operate at full Gigabit Ethernet speeds simultaneously. It is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots but will operate at the available bandwidth of the host system.
Is this network card suitable for desktop computers?
While technically compatible with desktop PCIe slots, this card is specifically designed and optimized for server environments. The device support specification lists servers as the intended deployment platform, ensuring reliability and thermal management for continuous operation in data center conditions.
What is the maximum data transfer rate per port?
Each of the four SFP ports supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) using 1000Base-X network technology. The PCI Express 2.1 x4 host interface provides 2000 MB/s total bandwidth, allowing all ports to operate at full speed without bottlenecking.
What type of SFP modules are compatible with this card?
The card supports standard SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) modules that are compatible with 1000Base-X Gigabit Ethernet over fiber optic cables. You will need to purchase appropriate SFP transceivers separately based on your fiber type (multimode or singlemode) and distance requirements.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
The Axiom PCIE-4SFP-AX includes a 3-year limited warranty. This coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. The warranty period reflects the product's design for reliable server deployment where continuous operation is essential.
