Detailed Specifications
HPE 877697-001 Ethernet 100Gb 1-Port 842QSFP28 Adapter
Overview
The HPE 877697-001 is a PCIe network adapter providing one QSFP28 port rated for 100 Gbps, aimed at server network engineers upgrading data-centre and cloud compute platforms. It enables high-bandwidth uplinks or server-front-end network connectivity within 1-U or blade servers, without needing dual ports. The card uses a QSFP28 interface and fits into a PCIe slot (notably ×16) in compatible HPE ProLiant servers, making it suitable for I/O-heavy workloads such as virtualised hosts, hyper-converged infrastructure, or east-west traffic in fabric-centric environments. It addresses the challenge of scaling network bandwidth while minimising physical slots and cables.
Key Features
Single QSFP28 port delivering up to 100 Gbps full duplex
PCI Express host interface (×16) for high throughput and low latency
Supports standard 100 Gb Ethernet protocols and cable types
Ideal for data-centre compute, server uplinks and cloud fabrics
Compact single-port design saves onboard resources and slot count
