EOL - M1E2G8SPi80 Ethernet Express Module
Eight Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet Express Module Server Adapter
This product has been discontinued – EOL Notification
Silicom’s Eight Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet Express Module Server adapter is PCI-Express X8 Eight SFP Gigabit Ethernet network interface card that can fit into a 3.5” HD form factor.
The Silicom Eight Port SFP ExpressModule is the front I/O module in Silicom Server to Network Appliance Converter (SETAC) architecture.
Silicom’s Eight Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server adapter is designed for Servers and high-end appliances.
The performance is optimized so that system I/O is not the bottleneck in high-performance networking applications.

Silicom’s Eight Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule server adapters are based on Intel 82580EB Ethernet controller with quad fully integrated Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and PHY.
Silicom’s Eight Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule server adapters are the ideal solution for implementing multiple network segments, mission-critical high-powered networking applications and environments within high performance servers.
