## Summary description

Internal PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet fiber network card by StarTech (PEX1000SFP2) with an open SFP slot for fiber modules. Provides wired connectivity via PCIe host interface and supports a maximum data transfer rate of 2000 Mbit/s. Suited for servers or workstations requiring fiber uplinks, long-distance links, or migration from copper to SFP-based fiber connections.

## Long description

The StarTech PEX1000SFP2 is an internal PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet fiber network card that provides a PCIe host interface and an open SFP slot for your choice of Gigabit fiber transceivers. Designed for desktops, workstations and servers, the card supports wired fiber connectivity with a maximum aggregate throughput of 2000 Mbit/s, enabling direct connection to fiber optic networks and migration from copper to SFP-based fiber links.
Advantages
This PCIe SFP adapter delivers flexible fiber connectivity through an open SFP port, allowing you to select transceivers appropriate for the fiber type and distance required. Because it uses fiber optics rather than copper, the card is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference that can affect RJ45 networks, which supports stable and secure long-distance links. The dual-profile bracket design includes a full-profile bracket with an included low-profile/half-height bracket for installation in small form-factor systems and 1U rackmount servers.
Suitable for
 Servers and workstations requiring fiber uplinks
 Environments needing long-distance network links over fiber
 Migrations from copper Ethernet to SFP-based fiber connections
 Small form-factor PCs or rackmount systems needing a low-profile network interface
Key specifications
 Interface: PCI Express (PCIe) host card
 Optical slot: Open SFP port for user-supplied Gigabit fiber transceiver
 Maximum data throughput: up to 2000 Mbit/s
 Connectivity type: Wired fiber-optic network
 Form factor compatibility: Full-height and includes low-profile/half-height bracket
How to use
Install the PEX1000SFP2 into an available PCI Express slot on the host computer and secure the bracket appropriate for the chassis (full-height or install the included low-profile bracket for SFF systems). Insert a compatible Gigabit SFP transceiver into the open SFP slot, then connect the fiber optic cable to the transceiver. After physical installation, power on the system and install any required drivers or let the operating system detect the new network interface. Configure network settings according to your network environment to enable fiber-based network connectivity.
Usage recommendations
Use transceivers and fiber cabling that match your network’s type and distance requirements (for example, single-mode or multi-mode modules and matching patch cables). Ensure the host system has an available PCIe slot with appropriate lane support and that drivers are installed from trusted sources. For installations in noisy electromagnetic environments or where long-distance links are needed, prefer fiber transceivers and certified fiber cabling to maximize signal integrity and security.
