Ethernet network adapter for OCP 3.0 enables data centre and enterprise solutions

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the E610-IT4 Ethernet network adapter for OCP 3.0 from Intel. The device, part of the Intel Ethernet 600 Series, offers broad interoperability, critical performance optimisations, and increased agility for communications, cloud, and enterprise IT network solutions.

The adapter supports auto-negotiation between multiple port speeds, supplying maximum flexibility in a quad-port configuration. With support for 10GBASE-T, 5G, 2.5G and 1000BASE-T connectivity, the adapter delivers efficient, high-performance connectivity for data centre control planes, workstation and edge applications.

Intel Ethernet Flow Director (Intel Ethernet FD) provides hardware-based application traffic steering, and Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) delivers outstanding I/O performance in virtualised server environments. The adapter further decreases I/O bottlenecks through intelligent offloads, enabling near-native performance and VM scalability. Advanced security features, anchored by hardware RoT and secure communications via PLDM manageability, improve Ethernet security.

The E610-IT4 adapter complies with the OCP NIC 3.0 small form factor specifications, ensuring compatibility and simplifying installation and upgrades. The SFF format enables up to 16 PCIe lanes on the card edge. The E610-IT4 Ethernet network adapter is provided in individual (E610IT4OCPV3) or multi-piece (E610IT4OCP3M5) packaging for purchase flexibility.
