ASUS MCB10G2S 10GbE SFP+ OCP Network Mezzanine Card
ASUS MCB-10G-2S 10GbE SFP+ OCP Network Mezzanine Card, PCIe 3.0 x8, PXE/FCoE/iSCSI Boot
Faster Data Transmission
The ASUS MCB-10G-2S is designed to take advantage of high-performance 10Gb/s connectivity technology to meet the need for faster rates of data transmission. Through the MCB-10G-2S OCP Network Mezzanine Card, users are able to enable fiber solution over SFP+ LR optical module and SFP+ SR optical module, or to enable copper solution over direct attach passive twin-ax cable. This flexibility is ideal for different distances and network architecture requirements.
Open Compute Project
The ASUS MCB-10G-2S is designed for use with Open Compute Project Intel v2.0 motherboards which features PCI-E 3.0 interface and OCP form factor.
It allows users integrate the mezzanine card in OCP motherboards or systems easily and flexibly. MCB-10G-2S provides a flexible and perfect fit for Open Compute Project integrations.
Keep Pace with the 10Gb/s Trends
More and more applications require high-bandwidth to transfer large data, especially data centre, HPC, web-hosting and enterprise uses.
10Gb/s Ethernet is an ideal technology for moving large amounts of data quickly, more than sufficient for the network needs of large scale virtual machines and virtualisation environments.
The bandwidth it provides in conjunction with server consolidation is highly advantageous for cloud computing, visualisation software, web caching, real time application response, databases, social networking and business logic apps, science simulations, and professional modelling.
Enabling Fibre and Copper Solutions for Different Data Centre Applications
The ASUS MCB-10G-2S OCP network mezzanine card provides a flexible, scalable, and affordable approach for customers who wants to upgrade interconnect speeds from the current 1Gb/s to 10Gb/s.
With the MCB-10G-2S OCP network mezzanine card, users are able to tap fiber technology over SFP+ SR (short range) and LR (long range) optical modules, or to enable copper solution over direct attach passive twin-ax cable.
SFP+ fibre solution is suitable for longer distance communication, while SFP+ direct-attach copper solution is best when utilised in short lengths, typically 5m or less, which is sufficient to link server cards and switches.
By applying with different module types and cables, the MCB-10G-2S OCP network mezzanine card can meet a wide range of distances and various customers’ needs for different network architecture.
