StarTech.com 2-Port PCIe 10Gb Ethernet Network Card

This PCIe network card makes it easy to add two 10GBase-T ports to your server or workstation, providing an affordable solution for high-bandwidth applications. It supports 10GbE over Cat 6 cabling up to 55 meters and Cat 6A cabling up to 100 meters.

Compatible with a broad range of operating systems, this versatile dual-port NIC reduces network slowdown/degradation when running data-intensive applications/processes such as FTPs and online storage/backup. It's a cost-effective way to enhance your server or computer capabilities by adding two powerful 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, with support for advanced features such as VLAN tagging, jumbo frames, and Auto-MDIX.

This 2-port PCI Express 10GBase-T network card features the Broadcom BCM57416 chipset, designed to deliver the power, performance and enhanced capabilities you need for reliable network connections to your server or computer.

Compliant with IEEE 802.1Q standards, this network card offers an efficient way to upgrade or replace your existing network ports with dual 1G/10G-compatible RJ45 ports, delivering up to 10Gbps of throughput per port in each direction (20Gbps total). It connects through a single, four-lane (x8 or higher) PCI Express slot.

With a dual-profile design, the PCI Express network card installs easily into a wide range of computer/server chassis, regardless of form factor. The card comes equipped for installation in a full-sized chassis and includes a low-profile/half-height installation bracket that you can use as needed.
