Lenovo 00MM862 Intel X550-T2 10Gbps 2-Port PCIe 3.0 x4 Network Card

Lenovo 00MM862 Intel X550-T2 10Gbps Adapter

This Lenovo Intel X550-T2 is a dual-port network interface card that delivers 10Gbps Ethernet over standard copper cabling. It connects through a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot and carries the Lenovo part number 00MM862. The adapter supports Cat6 and Cat6a cables for runs up to 100 metres.

Suits 10GbE upgrades on existing copper

This card suits administrators who need 10Gbps connectivity using installed Cat6 or Cat6a patching. It also fits Top-of-Rack, Middle-of-Row or End-of-Row designs where copper reach is required. Buyers who need fibre uplinks or 25Gbps operation should look at a different adapter.

PCIe 3.0 x4 slot requirement

The adapter requires an available PCIe 3.0 x4 slot to operate at its rated 10Gbps per port. A narrower lane width or an older PCIe generation will reduce throughput. Verify that your server or workstation provides this slot before purchase.
