Intel Ethernet Network Adapter X710-T4L Compatible 4-Port 10GbE PCIe 3.0 x8 RJ-45 Server NIC, Low Profile & Full Height

Where generic 10GbE adapters buckle under mixed traffic, the Intel X710-T4L holds the line. This quad-port 10GBASE-T card pairs Intel's proven Ethernet Controller X710-T4L with a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, delivering line-rate performance across all four RJ-45 ports. Servers and workstations get consistent throughput over standard copper cabling—no fiber or DAC complexity required.

Highlights

• Four independent 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports over Cat6a (up to 100m) or Cat6 (up to 55m)
• PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface provides ample bandwidth for all ports simultaneously
• Backward compatible with 1GbE and 100MbE networks for seamless migration
• Includes both low-profile and full-height brackets for 1U, 2U, or tower systems
• Advanced virtualization: SR-IOV and VMDq for efficient VM networking
• Hardware offloads for TCP/UDP/IP checksum, RSS, and TSS reduce CPU overhead

In daily use

Deploying the X710-T4L in a virtualized server or high-performance workstation immediately removes network bottlenecks. Assign each port to a different VLAN or virtual switch, or use SR-IOV to hand virtual functions directly to VMs for near-native performance. Jumbo frames up to 9.5 KB accelerate large transfers like backups or media streaming. PXE boot simplifies diskless provisioning, and link/activity LEDs give at-a-glance status.
