  • Three-year limited warranty covers the card for long deployments

10Gb dual-port SFP+ server NIC

The Axiom X710DA2-AX is a plug-in network card built for servers that need two 10GBase-X optical links. It installs in a PCI Express x8 slot and presents two SFP+ cages for fibre transceivers. The board targets administrators who want to add high-speed uplinks or interconnects without replacing the host system.

Check PCIe x8 slot and SFP+ transceiver stock

Verify that the target server has a free PCI Express x8 expansion slot and that the chassis can accommodate a standard-height add-in card. You must also supply compatible SFP+ optical modules and fibre patch cables, because the card ships without transceivers. Confirm the operating system includes or can load the appropriate driver for this controller.

Plug-in card with two SFP+ cages

The plug-in form factor mounts directly into the motherboard, so no external power cables or brackets are required beyond the slot itself. Two SFP+ cages face the rear bracket, letting you choose single-mode or multi-mode optics per link. A three-year limited warranty covers the card, reflecting the manufacturer’s confidence in the build.

Questions about this item

Does the card ship with SFP+ transceivers or cables, or must they be purchased separately?

The card provides two SFP+ slots; optical transceivers or direct-attach cables are not included and must be sourced to match the fibre type and distance required.

The model name includes X710DA2-AX — does that denote a specific feature set I should match to my server?

X710DA2-AX identifies this dual-port 10 Gb SFP+ adapter with a PCI Express x8 host interface; select it when your server has an x8 slot and needs two 10GBase-X optical ports.

What does the 10 Gb rating mean for actual throughput inside a server?

Each port supports 10 Gbps line-rate 10GBase-X traffic; real-world throughput depends on CPU, bus load and the transceiver used, but the hardware is built for full 10 Gbps per port.
