10 Gbps dual-port PCIe 4.0 x4 adapter

The Intel E610XT2 is a new 10 Gigabit Ethernet network card that installs in a PCI Express 4.0 x4 slot. It provides two RJ45 ports supporting twisted-pair copper cabling up to 100 metres. Both low-profile and full-height brackets are included for flexible chassis fit.

Suits servers and workstations needing two

This card serves builders who want dual 10 Gbps copper ports on a single x4 lane. It also negotiates 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps and 1 Gbps speeds for mixed environments. Buyers who need fibre SFP+ connectivity or more than two ports should look at a different adapter.

PCI Express 4.0 x4 lane requirement

The adapter operates on a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, so the host slot must supply four lanes of fourth-generation bandwidth. A smaller x1 or x2 slot will not deliver the rated 10 Gbps throughput per port. Verify your motherboard or riser provides an open x4 connection before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the low-profile or full-height bracket for my case?

The card ships with both brackets so you can fit either a slim or standard chassis without buying extra hardware.

What real throughput will I see from the 10 Gbps ports on a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot?

The x4 lane provides enough bandwidth for both ports to run at line rate, so sustained transfers approach the full 10 Gbps per port.

Which twisted-pair standards does the RJ45 interface support and what distance limit applies?

It negotiates 10GBase-T, 5GBase-T, 2.5GBase-T and 1000Base-T over Category 6, 6A or 5e cable up to 100 metres.
