Broadcom Emulex LPe32002-AP Dual-Port 32GFC Fibre Channel HBA
Dual-Port 32GFC Connectivity for High-Performance Storage
The Broadcom Emulex LPe32002-AP is a dual-port Gen 6 Fibre Channel host bus adapter designed for enterprise and cloud storage environments. Built on the XE501 controller with an 8-lane PCIe 3.0 host interface, the LPe32002 architecture supports 32GFC, 16GFC, and 8GFC link speeds with automatic negotiation.
The LPe32002 architecture delivers 6400 MB/s full-duplex line rate per port at 32GFC and over 1.6 million IOPS on a single port. Support for NVMe over Fibre Channel and traditional SCSI over Fibre Channel concurrently enables organizations to deploy low-latency NVMe/FC storage while maintaining established Fibre Channel workloads.
Key Benefits and Features
- Dual-Port 32GFC: Dual-port Fibre Channel architecture for high-bandwidth storage connectivity
