Winyao WYCX4-F2 25G Dual-Port Server Adapter
Winyao WYCX4-F2 network card adapter is based on the NVIDIA / Mellanox ConnectX -4 Lx Ethernet controller and features a PCIe X8 design with onboard two SFP28 Cage. All ports support auto-negotiation 25Gbps speeds and deliver full line-rate 25Gbps & 10Gbps Fiber network connectivity.
The adapter is for Designed for data centers, hyper-converged infrastructure, software-defined storage, NVMe-over-Fabrics storage, and AI/GPU clusters, it uses a PCI Express Gen 3.0 x8 interface to provide two 25GbE SFP28 ports, supporting 25GBASE-SR/LR modules, SFP28 DAC/AOC cables, and backward-compatible SFP+ 10GbE or 1GbE copper/optical modules. It is suitable for dual-port 25G uplinks, distributed storage, RDMA transport, hardware-accelerated overlay networking, SR-IOV direct I/O, and RoCE communication.
