  • 10 GbE speed with Intel X550-AT controller for stable throughput
  • QoS support prioritises critical traffic for smoother online experience
  • Single RJ45 port runs at 10 Gb or 1 Gb over Cat6a cabling
  • PCIe 3.0 x4 fits x4, x8 or x16 slots for broad compatibility
  • Includes low-profile and full-height brackets for standard or slim systems

10Gb RJ45 PCI-E Network Card

This 10Gb RJ45 PCI-E network card uses the Intel X550-AT controller to add a single 10Gbase-T port over a PCI Express 3.0 x4 lane. It supports 10Gb and 1Gb data rates with Cat6a cabling and fits both standard and slim systems using the included low-profile and full-height brackets. The card is designed for Windows, Linux, VMware ESXi and several server operating systems.

Suited for 10GbE upgrades on compatible slots

Builders adding 10Gb Ethernet to a workstation or server with a free PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot will find this card straightforward to install. It is not for systems that lack a PCI Express 3.0 x4 electrical connection, for setups requiring multiple RJ45 ports, or for environments needing fibre SFP+ connectivity instead of copper RJ45.

Handles 10Gb and 1Gb links with Cat6a

The single port comfortably handles 10Gb and 1Gb Ethernet traffic over Cat6a cable, simplifying a move to 10GbE. Throughput tops out at the 10Gb line rate, so aggregates beyond that or multi-port link aggregation require additional cards. Driver support covers a wide range of Windows, Linux and VMware releases for stable operation.
