• Dual 10Gbps SFP+ Ports: Adds two high-speed SFP+ slots to your server. This allows for fiber optic or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) connections, providing a total of 20Gbps of potential bandwidth (in full duplex) to prevent network bottlenecks during heavy recording or multi-user playback.
• Compatibility: Specifically validated for IP-Only A-Series and Q-Series NVRs. It is also a common requirement for S-Series extended storage servers to handle high-speed archiving tasks.
• Intel-Compatible SFP Modules: For maximum reliability, this card requires Intel-compatible SFP+ modules. It does not typically include the transceivers (SFP modules) themselves, which must be purchased separately based on your fiber type (Single-mode or Multi-mode).
• Factory-Only Restriction: Like many high-performance exacqVision upgrades, this is not field-upgradeable. It must be configured and installed at the factory at the time of the NVR's initial order to ensure the server's PCIe lane allocation and thermal cooling are properly managed.
• Network Isolation: Having these additional high-speed ports allows you to physically isolate your "Camera Network" from your "Client/Corporate Network," ensuring that heavy camera traffic never slows down your office internet or vice versa.
