Intel X710-T2L OCP 3.0 PCIe 3.0 x8 2-port 10GBase-T network card

SKU CH-XX77-8ERJG

Adds two 10GBase-T RJ-45 ports through a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot using the Intel Ethernet 700 Series controller

  • Dual 10GBase-T ports for high-speed copper connectivity
  • PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface for server bandwidth
  • Intel Ethernet 700 Series offloads boost Xeon server performance
  • Energy Efficient Ethernet cuts power during low data activity
  • OCP 3.0 form factor fits open compute platforms

Dual 10GBase-T OCP 3.0 adapter

The Intel X710-T2L plugs into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and provides two RJ-45 ports running 10GBase-T over twisted-pair copper. It targets server and workstation builders who need 10 Gb Ethernet density in an OCP 3.0 form factor.

Installation notes

The card uses a standard x8 edge connector so it fits any compatible PCIe 3.0 x8 or wider slot; mechanical clearance follows the OCP 3.0 specification. Driver support is included in modern Linux kernels and Windows Server releases, and Intel supplies DPDK poll-mode drivers for userspace packet processing.

Practical limits of 10GBase-T

Each port autonegotiates down to lower speeds, but the PHY is fixed at 10 Gb/s maximum over copper twisted pair. Cable quality and run length determine whether the link reaches full rate; the adapter itself does not support fibre media or speeds beyond 10 Gb/s.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the adapter is operating correctly after installation?

Check that both RJ-45 ports negotiate a 10GBase-T link and that the PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface is recognised by the system.

What is included with the card and what must be sourced separately?

The adapter provides two RJ-45 ports for twisted-pair cabling; compatible Cat6a or better cables and an OCP 3.0 compliant slot are required but not supplied.

Which version should I choose for a dual-port 10GBase-T deployment?

Select the X710-T2L model, which delivers exactly two 10GBase-T ports over a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface.
