The Server Level Adapter to Expand Networking Environments
The ENW-2QSFP28 is a PCI Express 100Gbps Ethernet Adapter designed to meet high-performance system application requirements. Leveraging the PCI Express Gen4 x16 bus architecture, the ENW-2QSFP28 delivers superior bandwidth and efficiency for modern data centers and enterprise servers. Providing up to ten times the speed of legacy 10GbE solutions, it is ideal for connecting servers and workstations with extremely high throughput and excellent signal quality.
Moreover, the ENW-2QSFP28 supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN for flexible and secure network segmentation. With jumbo frames up to 9.5K bytes and IEEE 802.3 flow control, it optimizes throughput and ensures wire-speed packet transfer without packet loss. These features make it an excellent solution for 100 Gigabit Ethernet environments.
High-Performance 100GbE QSFP28 Adapter for Data Center and IPC
The PLANET ENW-2QSFP28 is a dual-port 100GbE QSFP28 PCI Express server adapter designed for high-speed networking in modern data centers and industrial applications. Powered by the Intel® Ethernet Controller E810-CAM2, it supports PCI Express Gen4 x16 (backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 x16) for seamless integration into server or IPC motherboards.
Featuring dual QSFP28 ports, the ENW-2QSFP28 delivers up to 2 × 100GbE connectivity with low power consumption and a standard low-profile form factor. The onboard Intel controller integrates advanced networking technologies and a 100GbE MAC into a single chip, achieving up to 100Gbps throughput per port. By offloading key networking and virtualization tasks from the server CPU, it ensures near line-rate performance while maintaining the simplicity of a conventional Network Interface Card (NIC).
High-Speed 100GbE Connectivity and Flexible Extension
The ENW-2QSFP28 is a dual-port 100GbE QSFP28 PCI Express adapter powered by the Intel® Ethernet Controller E810-CAM2. It supports flexible QSFP28 transceivers for connections up to 100 meters over multi-mode fiber or 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber, making it ideal for data center and enterprise deployments. With PCIe Gen4 x16 bandwidth, low power consumption, and a standard low-profile form factor, it delivers up to 100Gbps throughput per port while offloading key networking and virtualization tasks from the server CPU, ensuring near line-rate performance and reliable operation.
High-Performance 802.1Q VLAN and Jumbo Frame Support
The ENW-2QSFP28, powered by the Intel® Ethernet Controller E810-CAM2, supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and jumbo frames up to 9.5K bytes, enabling flexible and secure network segmentation. With IEEE 802.3 flow control, it ensures optimized throughput and wire-speed packet transfer without packet loss. Designed for 100GbE high-speed Ethernet environments, the device delivers exceptional performance for demanding server and data center applications.
Multiple OS Support
The ENW-2QSFP28 is fully compatible with a wide range of modern operating systems, including Microsoft Windows® 10/11 (64-bit) and Windows Server® 2016/2019/2022/2025. It also supports leading Linux platforms with kernel versions 5.x and 6.x (RHEL / SLES with driver support), as well as FreeBSD. With this broad OS compatibility, the ENW-2QSFP28 can be seamlessly integrated into diverse server and industrial networking environments.
Low-Profile Design
The ENW-2QSFP28 supports both full-height and low-profile PCI Express slots. It comes with an optional low-profile bracket, making it suitable for IPC systems or servers with limited space. This flexible form factor design allows the ENW-2QSFP28 to be deployed in a wide range of industrial and data center applications.
Dual-port 100GbE QSFP28 for Enhanced Deployment
Equipped with two 100GbE QSFP28 fiber interfaces, the ENW-2QSFP28 provides high-speed connectivity and deployment flexibility. The dual-port design allows administrators to build redundant connections for high availability or aggregate both ports to double bandwidth up to 200Gbps, ensuring efficient data transmission in enterprise data centers, cloud computing, and HPC environments. This versatile configuration makes it ideal for scenarios requiring both performance and reliability.
