Add an Ethernet port to a server or workstation, with support for five network speeds: 10G/5G/2. 5G/1G/100Mbps This 5-speed network adapter card offers versatile and cost-efficient network connectivity. It lets you add an Ethernet port to your server or desktop computer and access your network at multiple speeds: 10G, 5G, 2. 5G 1G and 100Mbps. Cost-effective, multimode network connectivity Designed for low-power, single-port network applications, the PCIe NIC offers a cost-effective and versatile networking solution by providing additional bandwidth to meet your network needs, without having to overhaul your infrastructure wiring. Fully compliant with 10GBase-T and NBASE-T specifications, the network card lets you add an Ethernet port to your server or high-powered workstation through a PCI Express x4 (or higher) slot. (10G network speeds require Cat6a cable. All other speeds require Cat5e cable.) Advanced technology for optimal performance The network controller card features advanced NBASE-T technology, supporting the latest multi-gigabit, including new Cisco campus switches and Aruba Networks access points. The card enables you to connect to NBASE-T based equipment at network speeds of 2. 5Gbps or 5Gbps, over your existing Cat5e infrastructure, without having to upgrade to more expensive Cat6a. NBASE-T technology accelerates the speed of twisted pair Cat5e copper cabling over a distance of up to 100 meters. The Ethernet network card also supports the more common 10G over copper, and 1G network connections using existing Cat 6/Cat5e or better cabling. The 5-speed Ethernet network card is a powerful combination of the Tehuti TN4010 controller and the Marvell 88X3310P transceiver, providing low-power and high-performance NBASE-T solutions. The Tehuti 10Gb E controller supports autonegotiation, which ensures the optimal speed over Cat5e/Cat6 is selected: 10Gb E, 5Gb E, 2. 5Gb E, Gb E or 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet). The network card also offers compatibility with Microsoft Hyper-V
