HPE 872526-001 

CN1300R (Q0F09A) 10/25 Gb Dual-Port Converged Network Adapter

The HPE 872526-001 (StoreFabric CN1300R) is a high-performance, dual-port converged Network Adapter designed for advanced  data center environments. Offering 10/25 Gb Ethernet connectivity, it seamlessly integrates Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) using Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) standards. This consolidation reduces the number of adapters, cables, and power consumption, while retaining compatibility with existing infrastructure. The low-profile plug-in form factor, compatible with PCIe 3.0 x8 slots, ensures efficient deployment in HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers. Whether upgrading for virtualization, cloud, or SAN storage applications, the CN1300R delivers flexible and scalable high-speed networking in enterprise environments. 

Features

The HPE CN1300R adapter supports both 10 GbE and 25 GbE speeds, offering dual SFP+ optical ports (10GBASE-SR or DAC-compatible) as the connectivity interface. It employs industry-standard technologies—including FCoE and CEE—to deliver Ethernet, storage, and iSCSI traffic over the same physical connection, reducing hardware complexity and enhancing operational efficiency Its compact PCIe 3.0 x8 bus interface ensures fast data transfer, while its broad compatibility across HPE ProLiant server lines (e.g., DL360 Gen10, DL380 Gen10, Apollo) makes it a versatile upgrade for existing infrastructure The adapter preserves enterprise-level reliability through proactive diagnostics and compatibility testing, particularly with B-series and C-series FCoE switches. The inclusion of FCoE capabilities enables seamless SAN integration without separate HBAs, while retaining full Ethernet performance for traditional network workloads.

Advanced Options

The HPE CN1300R adapter is engineered for reliable performance in demanding IT environments. By consolidating NIC and HBA roles, it reduces component overhead, streamlines system design, and contributes to lower power dissipation and cooling needs—all while delivering high data throughput. This enables organizations to achieve better data center density and lower total cost of ownership
