PA-8E is a high-performance Ethernet module engineered to deliver robust connectivity and reliable high-speed data transfers for modern data centers. Designed with a PCIe form factor, this module features SFP+ connectivity that supports data rates up to 10Gbps, while utilizing protocols such as TCP/IP and iSCSI to ensure fast and secure communication across a variety of routers, switches, and servers.
Built for versatility and efficiency, the PA-8E enables easy expansion of network interface capacity and seamless server upgrades. It supports advanced features including auto-negotiation, wake-on-LAN, jumbo frames, and QoS, and is optimized for demanding environments with an operating temperature of 0 to 70°C and storage temperature of -40 to 85°C. Trusted by major vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Dell, and HP, this module is ideal for organizations seeking to connect to high-speed networks reliably and securely.

In a distributed enterprise, IT teams deploy the PA-8E-Model on a Cisco 7200 Series router to terminate eight separate 10BaseT Ethernet links—each assigned to a unique VLAN for HR, Finance, Sales and Guest networks. This granular port-level segmentation enforces security boundaries, simplifies troubleshooting and reduces inter-VLAN broadcast traffic. Benefit: Achieve robust multi-tenant isolation and compliance with minimal hardware footprint.
A regional ISP leverages the PA-8E-Model to aggregate eight 10BaseT customer links onto a single Cisco 7200 chassis. Dynamic load balancing distributes traffic across all ports, while real-time link monitoring triggers sub-second failover on port failure. Benefit: Enhance network resiliency, maximize bandwidth utilization and deliver carrier-grade availability to small-business customers.
In a manufacturing plant, operational technology (OT) engineers integrate the PA-8E-Model to connect up to eight legacy PLCs, HMIs and sensors to a Cisco 7200 router at the network edge. The adapter’s deterministic 10BaseT links ensure predictable latency and interference resistance in a harsh electromagnetic environment. Benefit: Maintain reliable SCADA communications, simplify network management and extend the lifecycle of critical automation assets.
