SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Single-Port SFP+ 10Gbps PCIe 3.0 X4 Network Adapter Intel 82599

SKU CH-115F-8PJJZ

Adds a single 10 Gbps SFP+ port via PCIe 3.0 X4 using the Intel 82599 controller with hardware offload, jumbo frames and dual brackets

  • Enterprise-grade 10Gbps throughput via Intel 82599 controller
  • Flexible SFP+ slot accepts DAC or fiber transceivers
  • PCIe 3.0 X4 fits X8 and X16 slots with two brackets
  • Hardware offload cuts CPU load during heavy 10G traffic
  • Broad OS support covers Windows, Linux and VMware ESXi

Single-Port 10Gbps SFP+ NIC

The SMUGDESK adapter adds a single 10Gbps SFP+ port to any desktop, server or NAS through a PCIe 3.0 X4 slot. It uses the Intel 82599 controller to deliver full wire-speed throughput with DAC twinax or LC fiber modules. Hardware offload for checksums, RSS, VMDq and SR-IOV keeps CPU usage low during heavy file transfers or VM migrations. The card includes both full-height and low-profile brackets for standard and 1U or 2U chassis.

Upgrade from 1GbE or add first 10G link

This card replaces a standard gigabit NIC when you need ten times the bandwidth for storage clusters, soft routing, virtualization hosts or diskless boot setups. The jump is worth it when your workload saturates 1GbE links during large file moves, backup windows or iSCSI traffic. Built-in PXE and iSCSI boot plus 9.6KB jumbo frames and 802.3ad aggregation make the step-up practical for NAS and server deployments.

Check PCIe slot and OS driver support

Verify your motherboard has a free PCIe X4, X8 or X16 slot that can run at PCIe 3.0 speeds. Confirm your operating system is among the supported Windows desktop or Server editions, mainstream Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL or SLES, or hypervisors including VMware ESXi, Proxmox or TrueNAS. Ensure you have a compatible SFP+ transceiver or DAC cable for the desired link distance.
