## Long description

The StarTech.com 1-Port GbE SFP Network Card (PCIe 2.1 x1, Intel I210-IS) provides a single 1GbE SFP interface for copper or fiber connections. Designed for installation in a workstation or server PCIe 2.1 x1 (or higher) slot, the card supports interchangeable SFP modules or direct attach copper cables to adapt to different link types and distances. It includes a low-profile bracket for small form factor systems and is compatible with common operating systems and virtualization platforms.
Advantages
This network controller uses the Intel I210 chipset to deliver reliable, low-latency 1GbE performance with low CPU utilization. It supports virtualization and offload technologies including VMDq, SR-IOV and Intel VT-c to improve VM networking efficiency and reduce host overhead. Additional features include PXE boot support for network-based OS deployment, 9K jumbo frame support to improve data transmission efficiency, and VLAN tagging for network segmentation. The SFP slot accepts both MSA-compliant and branded 1Gb SFP modules as well as direct attach copper cables for flexible connectivity.
Suitable for
Adding 1GbE SFP copper or fiber connectivity to desktops and servers
Virtualized environments requiring SR-IOV or VMDq offloads
PXE-based OS deployment and centralized management
Small form factor systems using the included low-profile bracket

How to use
Install the PCIe network card into an available PCIe 2.1 x1 (or larger) slot on the workstation or server backplane. Secure the bracket appropriate to your chassis (standard or low-profile) and attach a compatible 1Gb SFP transceiver or direct attach copper cable into the SFP slot. Install or update drivers as required for your operating system and configure network settings through the OS or hypervisor management interface. For virtualization, enable supported offload features in host and guest configurations where applicable.
Usage recommendations
Choose SFP transceiver modules or direct attach cables based on required link distance and connector type. Use the Intel I210 driver versions recommended by your OS vendor and enable SR-IOV or VMDq only when supported by the host BIOS and hypervisor to ensure proper virtualization performance.
