PCIe Ethernet LAN Adapter, 10Gb Dual RJ45 Port, X540 Controller, 10Gtek for Windows/Linux/ESX Servers

This is a high-speed network interface card designed for servers and data centers, offering dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It uses the Intel X540 controller chip, known for its reliability and performance in server environments. The card supports advanced networking features like jumbo frames, VLANs, and Data Center Bridging, making it suitable for high-demand applications such as storage over Ethernet with iSCSI, FCoE, and NFS. It is compatible with a wide range of operating systems including Windows Server, Windows 10/11, Linux, and ESX/ESXi, though manual setup may be required for Windows 11.

The card features two RJ45 ports that support Category-6A cables up to 100 meters or Category-6 cables up to 55 meters. This makes it ideal for connecting to high-speed networks in data centers or server rooms. It uses PCIe 2.1 with a 5 GT/s X8 lane, allowing it to fit into both PCIe X8 and X16 slots. The card includes a profile bracket and a low-profile bracket for easy installation in small form factor or low-profile cases. However, it does not support hot swapping, so it must be installed when the system is powered off.

The card comes with a low-profile bracket for compatibility with compact server cases. It is backed by a 30-day return policy and a three-year warranty, along with lifetime technical support from the manufacturer. Users should ensure their system has a compatible PCIe slot and sufficient power supply before installation. For Windows 11 users, contacting the manufacturer for setup guidance is recommended to avoid compatibility issues.
