Intel E610XT4M5 data adapter PCIe 4.0 x8 10 Gbit/s 4-port Twisted Pair

SKU CH-4686-NARQR MPN E610XT4M5

Adds four 10 Gbit/s RJ45 ports over a PCIe 4.0 x8 slot with multi-speed auto-negotiation and lower power draw

  • Four 10 Gb/s ports on a single PCIe 4.0 x8 card
  • Auto-negotiates 10G, 2.5G, 5G and legacy Ethernet speeds
  • Hardware Root of Trust secures every network transaction
  • 600 Series design cuts power draw versus previous adapters
  • Familiar RJ45 twisted-pair connectors simplify cabling upgrades

Four-port 10 Gbit/s adapter for server migration

The Intel E610XT4M5 is a PCI Express 4.0 x8 network adapter with four twisted-pair ports. It supports 10GBase-T, 2.5GBase-T, 5GBase-T, 1000Base-T and 100Base-TX speeds. The card belongs to the Intel Ethernet 600 Series and includes hardware Root of Trust for platform security. Auto-negotiation simplifies migration from existing 1 Gbit/s infrastructure.

Suits staged 10 Gbit/s rollouts.

This adapter fits administrators upgrading rack servers or appliances to 10 Gbit/s over copper while keeping RJ45 cabling. The four ports allow link aggregation or separate networks in a single slot. Buyers who need SFP+ or QSFP transceivers for fibre links should look elsewhere. Builds requiring only one or two 10 Gbit/s ports can choose a smaller card.

Verify PCIe 4.0 x8 slot.

Confirm the host system has a free PCI Express 4.0 x8 slot wired for at least x8 electrical lanes. Check that the chassis bracket matches the card profile. Ensure the operating system or hypervisor includes a driver for the Intel Ethernet 600 Series controller. Plan switch ports that support 10GBase-T, 2.5GBase-T or 5GBase-T auto-negotiation.

Questions about this item

What free PCIe slot does the E610XT4M5 need to run at its 10 Gbit/s rate?

It requires a PCI Express 4.0 x8 slot; a slower or narrower slot will limit throughput.

Will the adapter link at 1000Base-T with my existing Cat5e patch cables?

Yes, the ports auto-negotiate down to 1000Base-T and 100Base-TX, so legacy cabling works.

How can I confirm each port is operating at the negotiated speed after installation?

Check the link LEDs on the bracket or view the reported speed in the OS network settings or switch port counters.
