Intel E610-XT2 10GbE Dual-Port PCIe 4.0 x4 Adapter

SKU CH-BE7E-P3C05

Dual-port 10 GbE adapter with PCIe 4.0 x4 and multi-speed RJ45 support for 10G, 2.5G, 5G and 1G networks

  • Dual 10GbE ports deliver high throughput
  • PCIe 4.0 x4 provides ample bandwidth
  • Auto-negotiation supports 100, 2.5, 5 and 10 GbE speeds
  • Hardware Root of Trust strengthens network security
  • Backward-compatible RJ45 eases 1GbE migration

Dual 10GbE PCIe 4.0 adapter for server upgrades

The Intel E610-XT2 adds two 10GBase-T ports over a PCI Express 4.0 x4 slot. It targets administrators moving 1 GbE infrastructure to 10 GbE without changing cabling. The Intel Ethernet 600 Series controller includes hardware Root of Trust for platform security.

Standard half-height plug-in card

Installation follows normal PCIe add-in procedure; the bracket fits common server chassis. Auto-negotiation across 10GBase-T, 5GBase-T, 2.5GBase-T, 1000Base-T and 100Base-TX reduces manual configuration errors. The only common issue is seating the x4 connector fully in a busy backplane.

Verify slot generation.

Confirm the host provides a PCIe 4.0 x4 or wider slot; older generations will limit throughput. Ensure twisted-pair cabling is rated for the desired speed — Cat6a or better for 10G. Check that your operating system includes or can load the Intel E610 driver before deployment.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Intel E610-XT2 adapter is operating at 10 Gbit/s after installation?

Check the link speed in your OS network settings or switch management console; it should show 10 Gbit/s when connected to a 10GBase-T port with Cat6a or better cabling.

What cables or modules must I buy separately to use both ports on the E610-XT2?

The adapter uses RJ45 twisted-pair ports; you need Cat6a or higher Ethernet cables for each 10GBase-T link — no SFP+ modules or DACs are used.

Should I choose the E610-XT2 dual-port or the E610-XT4 quad-port version for my server?

Choose the E610-XT2 when you need two 10GBase-T connections; select the E610-XT4 only if your chassis and workload require four ports.
