  • Hardware offloads for VXLAN, GENEVE and NVGRE accelerate virtualised workloads

Dual-port 10GBASE-T OCP 3.0 adapter

The Intel X710T2LOCPV3 is a dual-port network interface card built for OCP 3.0 small form factor slots. It serves servers and appliances that need two 10GBASE-T links over standard RJ45 cabling. Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces power draw during low utilisation periods. The adapter targets deployments where OCP 3.0 density and copper connectivity are required.

PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface

The card connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x8 electrical interface, which determines whether the host platform can deliver full 10 Gb/s throughput on both ports simultaneously. Backward compatibility covers 100BASE-TX and multi-gigabit speeds of 2.5 GbE and 5 GbE on the same RJ45 media. Buyers whose chassis only provide x4 or x1 slots will not achieve line rate on both ports.

OCP 3.0 SFF slot and CAT5e or better cabling

Installation requires an OCP 3.0 small form factor mezzanine slot and category 5e or higher twisted-pair cable for each port. The design frees standard PCIe add-in slots for other expansion cards while delivering dual 10 GbE connectivity. Systems lacking an OCP 3.0 connector cannot accept this adapter.

Questions about this item

What does the dual-port 10GBASE-T rating mean for actual throughput on this card?

Each RJ45 port can run at 10, 5, 2.5, 1 GbE or 100 Mbps, so the card delivers up to 10 Gbps per port over CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT6A cabling.

How does the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface limit the maximum bandwidth of the X710T2LOCPV3?

The PCIe 3.0 x8 link provides enough lane bandwidth for both 10 GbE ports to operate at line rate simultaneously.

What physical slot and bracket does this OCP 3.0 adapter require to install in a server?

It fits an OCP NIC 3.0 Small Form Factor slot and uses the standard OCP 3.0 bracket for tool-less mounting.
