Single-port 10 GbE NIC for desktop PCIe x4

The Vszerda SD-PEX24055 adds a single 10 GbE port to a desktop system through a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot. It uses the AQtion AQC107 controller to deliver multi-gigabit speeds over existing copper cabling. The half-height card ships with a low-profile bracket for small-form-factor cases.

Sustained throughput with multi-gig PHY and EEE

The AQrate PHY supports 10GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T and 2.5GBASE-T rates without dropping to lower speeds during extended transfers. Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces power draw when the link is idle, and IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss under continuous heavy load. Precision Time Protocol 1588v2 keeps latency predictable for time-sensitive workloads.

Verify slot width cable category and driver support

Confirm the motherboard has a free PCIe x4 or larger slot running at Gen 3.0 or higher. Ten gigabit operation requires Cat 6a cable for the full 100 m reach; Cat 5e is limited to 5 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps. Check that your operating system includes or can load a driver for the AQC107 controller before installation.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the AQC107 controller draw when the card runs at 10 Gbps all day?

The single-chip AQC107 integrates MAC, PHY and PCIe 3.0 x4, so the card stays cool and power-efficient without a fan; Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) further reduces draw during low-traffic periods.

What slot and cable does my desktop need for this SD-PEX24055 to work?

You need a free PCIe x4 (or larger) slot and a Cat 6 or Cat 6a patch cable for 10 Gbps; Cat 5e will link at 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps.

Will this 10GBASE-T card talk to my existing 1 GbE switch and Cat 5e runs?

Yes — the AQrate PHY is IEEE 802.3bz and NBASE-T compliant, so it auto-negotiates down to 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 2.5/5 Gbps over the same copper.
