Intel I350F2BLK Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter

The Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I350-F2 (I350F2BLK) is a dual-port gigabit fiber optic network interface card designed for server and data center environments where reliable, high-availability connectivity is essential. Built on Intel's I350 controller, this adapter supports advanced features such as link aggregation, failover, and load balancing across its two independent ports, making it well suited for redundant network configurations and virtualized server deployments. The fiber optic interface allows for cable runs well beyond the 100-meter limit of copper Ethernet, and is immune to electromagnetic interference that can plague copper connections in electrically noisy data center racks.

The I350-F2 is supported across a wide range of server operating systems and hypervisors, including Windows Server, multiple Linux distributions, VMware ESXi, and Microsoft Hyper-V, with mature, stable drivers from Intel. Its PCIe 2.1 x4 interface ensures compatibility with virtually all modern server motherboards. Sold in bulk packaging, this adapter is targeted at IT professionals and system integrators building or upgrading server infrastructure where proven Intel networking reliability and comprehensive platform support are priorities over cutting-edge 10GbE or higher speeds.
