Intel EXPI9402PF

Overview

The Intel EXPI9402PF is a PCI Express server adapter designed to provide two independent gigabit fiber connections using LC connectors. It supports 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps speeds, making it an effective solution for environments where multimode fiber is preferred or copper cabling is unsuitable. By connecting directly to the PCI Express bus, it ensures high throughput and low latency for demanding network tasks.

This adapter is ideal for data centers, enterprise server rooms, and test labs that require reliable fiber connectivity with efficient CPU utilization and easy management.

Key features

• Two LC fiber ports that support multiple speeds for flexible network integration
• Direct PCI Express interface that provides dedicated bandwidth and reduces bottlenecks
• Intel 82571GB Gigabit Controller with interrupt moderation and load balancing to optimize CPU usage and maintain low latency
• Intel PROSet utility simplifies configuration of teaming, VLANs, and other network settings without complex commands
• Designed specifically for multimode fiber networks to extend reach and reduce electromagnetic interference
• Compatible with Windows Vista and most modern network operating systems for broad deployment options
• Lead-free and RoHS-compliant design supporting environmental sustainability goals

Connectivity and compatibility

This adapter fits into any available PCI Express slot on compatible servers, providing two fiber optic connections via LC ports. It supports multimode fiber cabling, which is common in enterprise and data center environments where longer cable runs and immunity to electromagnetic interference are important. The card’s compatibility with Windows Vista and other network operating systems ensures it integrates smoothly into existing infrastructures.

Installation and setup

Installation involves inserting the adapter into a free PCI Express slot and connecting the fiber patch cables. The included Intel PROSet utility guides users through network configuration tasks such as setting up link aggregation (teaming) and VLANs, making it straightforward to customize network performance and redundancy without requiring advanced command-line knowledge.

Ideal uses and environments

This dual-port fiber adapter is well suited for servers that demand consistent network uptime and efficient CPU load distribution, such as file servers and virtualization hosts. It works well in environments where fiber cabling is already deployed or preferred for its distance and interference advantages over copper. IT professionals managing enterprise networks will appreciate the balance of performance, manageability, and compliance this adapter offers.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
