Kingston 16GB DDR5 5600MT/s ECC Registered DIMM Memory Module

Overview

The Kingston KTD-PE556S8-16G is a 16GB DDR5 registered memory module designed specifically for enterprise servers that demand reliable performance and strong data integrity. Operating at 5600MT/s, it provides the bandwidth necessary to keep virtualized environments, database servers, and high-traffic web applications responsive even under heavy workloads. Its ECC (Error-Correcting Code) capability helps detect and correct common memory errors, reducing the risk of downtime and data corruption.

This module fits platforms that support registered DIMMs, such as selected Dell PowerEdge systems, and features a 288-pin layout for easy installation. With a CAS latency of CL46 and a low operating voltage of 1.1V, it balances speed, stability, and energy efficiency, making it well suited for dense server racks and edge deployments where cooling is limited.
