## Long description

The StarTech PEX1000SFP2 PCI Express Gigabit Fiber Network Card enables a desktop or rackmount PC to connect directly to a fiber optic network using the Gigabit SFP transceiver of your choice. Designed for internal installation, the card provides a PCI Express host interface and an open SFP slot for flexible fiber connectivity, supporting high-speed wired networking up to 2000 Mbit/s and common Ethernet networking standards.
Advantages
The open SFP slot lets you select the appropriate Gigabit SFP transceiver for your fiber type and distance requirements, providing flexibility in network configuration. Fiber connectivity reduces susceptibility to electronic interference compared with copper RJ45 connections, supporting more secure and reliable links. The card includes both a full-height bracket and a low-profile/half-height bracket, allowing installation in standard desktops, small form-factor systems, and 1U rackmount servers.
Suitable for
Connecting desktops or rackmount PCs directly to a fiber optic LAN
Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference
Small form-factor systems and 1U servers using low-profile cards
Network upgrades where specific SFP transceivers are required for distance or medium
