Know before you buy
This card supports 1588 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) and SyncE (Synchronous Ethernet). These are essential for maintaining the high-precision timing synchronization required in 5G RAN and edge computing environments.
Yes, the card supports multiple 25GbE network technologies, including 25GBase-CR for copper/coaxial connections, as well as 25GBase-SR and 25GBase-LR for optical fiber setups.
To achieve maximum bandwidth, this card requires a PCI Express 4.0 x16 host interface. While it may be physically compatible with other slots, a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot is necessary to utilize the full 200 Gbit/s aggregate data transfer rate.
The card features a Mezzanine form factor and comes with a full-height bracket. Please ensure your server chassis supports the Mezzanine form factor and has the necessary clearance for a full-height expansion card.
The card is equipped with four SFP28 ports, allowing you to connect up to four distinct 25GbE network links simultaneously.
