Dell T3TK5 32GB 2-Port PCIe Fibre Channel Adapter

The Dell T3TK5 is a two-port fibre channel adapter card that installs in a standard PCIe slot and connects your server directly to a storage area network. Each port can move data at up to 32 GB per second, giving applications the rapid, block-level access they need for demanding workloads.

Because the card offers two independent ports, you can create separate paths to your SAN fabric. Many administrators use this flexibility for link redundancy so that a single cable or switch issue does not interrupt service. Others split traffic across both links to balance the load and make full use of the available bandwidth.

The adapter fits naturally in enterprise servers that host large databases, virtual machine clusters, or real-time analytics platforms. It is equally valuable in backup servers and storage arrays where sustained throughput and consistent, low latency are critical. Installation is straightforward: slot the card into an open PCIe bay, attach fibre channel cables, and configure the host to recognize the new paths.

For IT teams building or expanding a high-performance SAN, the Dell T3TK5 provides a simple way to boost storage connectivity without overhauling the existing infrastructure.

• Two fibre channel ports with support for 32 GB data rates
• PCIe host interface for easy integration into standard servers
• Engineered for storage area networks that require high throughput and reliable, low-latency access
• Multipath capability that enables redundancy or traffic load sharing
