  • Two RJ-45 ports enable link aggregation or redundant network paths

Dual-Port 10GBase-T Adapter

This Axiom network adapter adds two 10GBase-T copper ports through a single PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot. It is designed for desktops, workstations or servers that need high-bandwidth wired connectivity using standard twisted-pair cabling up to 100 metres. The card suits IT environments upgrading from slower Ethernet without replacing existing copper infrastructure.

Thermals and Power in Use

The adapter operates within the power envelope of a standard PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot, drawing only the energy required for dual-port 10 Gigabit throughput. No external power connectors are needed, so heat output remains modest and cooling is handled by the host system's normal airflow. Acoustic impact is negligible because the card has no onboard fans or moving parts.

100-Percent Testing and Cabling

Every unit is 100-percent tested by the manufacturer for reliability in high-transaction and mission-critical workloads. Support for twisted-pair media means you can use cost-efficient Cat6a or better copper cables instead of fibre, simplifying installation and reducing per-port cabling expense. The dual-port design doubles bandwidth availability without adding a second card.

Questions about this item

How is the PCIe 2.0 x8 adapter installed and which step is often missed?

Insert the card into a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot, secure the bracket screw, then attach both RJ-45 cables; the step most often missed is confirming the slot is x8 rather than x4 or x1.

What maintenance or replacement will the dual-port 10GBase-T adapter need later?

The copper RJ-45 ports and twisted-pair cables up to 100 metres are the only parts that may wear; the adapter itself has no fan or replaceable module.

What limit appears first under sustained 10GBase-T load on this card?

The PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface caps throughput at 4000 MB/s, so sustained traffic cannot exceed that bandwidth.
