The NC523SFP is an eight lane (x8) PCI Express (PCIe) 10 Gigabit network solution offering superior bandwidth in a ProLiant Ethernet adapter. This dual port PCI Express Gen 2 adapter supports SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable) connectors, requiring either Direct Attach Cable (DAC) for copper environments, or fiber transceivers and fiber cables for fiber optic environments.

The NC523SFP ships with advanced server features that ProLiant customers have come to expect, such as support for TCP checksum and segmentation (LSO) offload capability, VLAN tagging, jumbo frames, IPv6, and more. Flexible to order and install, the NC523SFP can be used in either standard or low profile slots.

Delivers the utmost in high speed networking bandwidth

• Two 10GbE ports enable a theoretical maximum of 40Gbps throughput using dual ports, bi-direction, full-duplex mode


Two ports increase flexibility and save slots

• Two ports save valuable I/O slots for other cards


SFP+ ports connect to any networking environment

• The NC523SFP ships with SFP+ cages for attachment to copper or fiber optic networks
