InLine 10-Gigabit network card, 1x RJ45 10Gb/s, PCIe x8, incl. LP bracket

Powerful network card with up to 10Gb/s data rate over copper wire
Intel X540 chipset for high performance and compatibility
PCIe x8 interface, suitable for professional server and workstation applications
Supports link aggregation, VLAN tagging and iSCSI boot
Compatible with Windows, Linux and server operating systems

The InLine® 10 Gigabit network card is a future-proof solution for high-speed networks and professional applications. It is based on the proven Intel X540 chipset and offers a reliable 10 GBASE-T Ethernet connection over standardized copper cabling from Cat.5e upwards.
The PCIe x8 interface in accordance with PCI Express Revision 2.1 allows the card to be easily integrated into modern systems. It supports a wide range of current network functions such as VLAN tagging, link aggregation (LACP), PXE boot, iSCSI, FCoE and layer 2 prioritization in accordance with IEEE 802.1P. Thanks to its backward compatibility with 1000Base-T networks, the network card is particularly versatile and facilitates the transition to 10GbE technology. Support for Windows and Linux operating systems ensures a high degree of flexibility in professional use.

How to use

Power down the PC and install the card into an available PCIe x8 (or x16) slot, securing it with the low-profile bracket if needed. Connect a Cat5e or better RJ45 cable to the 10Gb/s Ethernet port and to the network switch or router. Power on the system and install the appropriate driver for your operating system (Windows or Linux) following the manufacturer's instructions. After driver installation, configure network settings in the OS to enable 10G operation as required.

Recommendations

For reliable 10G performance, use Cat6a cabling or better where possible and ensure connected switches or network equipment support 10G BASE-T. Verify driver compatibility with your OS version and use the low-profile bracket for compact cases.
