TRENDnet TEG-10GECSFP 10Gbps PCIe 2.0 x4 SFP+ network card

10Gbps SFP+ PCIe 2.0 x4 Adapter

This network interface card adds a single 10 Gbps SFP+ port to a desktop computer through a PCI Express 2.0 x4 slot. It supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and jumbo frames for managed network environments. Both standard and low-profile brackets are included for different chassis heights. Driver support covers Windows and Linux operating systems.

Sustained 10 Gbps throughput with flow control

The adapter implements IEEE 802.3x flow control to regulate data during continuous high-volume transfers. This helps prevent packet loss when the link operates at its rated 10 Gbps speed over extended periods. Jumbo frame support reduces CPU overhead by moving larger payloads per interrupt. The PCIe 2.0 x4 host interface provides sufficient bandwidth for the single 10 Gbps lane.

SFP+ module choice defines cable reach

The card accepts any SFP+ transceiver, so distance and media type depend entirely on the module selected. Copper direct-attach cables typically reach a few metres, while fibre modules can span hundreds of metres or more. IEEE 802.3ae compliance ensures interoperability with compliant 10 Gbps Ethernet equipment. No transceiver is bundled, so one must be sourced separately.
