Detailed Specifications
HPE AJ764A 82Q 8Gb Dual-Port PCIe Fibre Channel Network Adapter
Overview
The HPE AJ764A is an enterprise-grade dual-port Fibre Channel network adapter engineered for high-throughput SAN connectivity across virtualized and mission-critical data environments. Built on PCI Express 2.0 x8 architecture, it provides reliable 8 Gb/s full-duplex bandwidth per port, enabling seamless server-to-storage communication with minimal latency. Each port operates over short-wave 850 nm optics using LC duplex connectors, supporting multimode fiber cabling for flexible integration within existing Fibre Channel infrastructures. Fully backward compatible with 4 Gb and 2 Gb speeds, it allows incremental upgrades without requiring full SAN replacement. Designed for compatibility with HPE ProLiant servers, this adapter fits both low-profile and full-height PCIe slots. It's well-suited for clustered applications, virtual machine environments, and high-availability data-center fabrics demanding continuous access and performance stability.
Key Features
Dual 8 Gb Fibre Channel ports with backward speed support.
PCIe 2.0 x8 interface for high-bandwidth server integration.
LC duplex short-wave optics at 850 nm wavelength.
Multimode fiber support (OM2, OM3, OM4) up to 500 m distance.
Includes full-height and low-profile brackets for flexible deployment.
