Internal Ethernet Network Card SYNOLOGY E10G30-T1 — PCIe 10 Gbps, Wired

SYNOLOGY E10G30-T1 is an internal wired Ethernet network card that provides a single 10 Gbps RJ45 port via a PCI Express interface. Designed for installation in desktops, NAS systems and servers, the adapter enables high-speed data transfers up to 10,000 Mbit/s while maintaining compatibility with lower link speeds. The card supports standard copper cabling for straightforward integration into existing network infrastructures and is intended to improve throughput for backup, virtualization, large file transfers and media streaming tasks.

Advantages

The card delivers 10GbE performance over standard RJ45 copper, allowing organizations to increase network throughput without replacing existing cabling. PCIe connectivity ensures direct host access and minimal latency, while built-in offloading and load balancing functions reduce CPU overhead and improve sustained transfer efficiency. The module is designed to integrate with Synology systems for reliable operation and predictable performance.

Suitable for

• Accelerating backups and large file transfers
• Improving virtualization host network throughput
• High-bandwidth media streaming and editing workflows
• Small and medium business servers and NAS devices

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express (PCIe 3.0 compatible)
• Network technology: Wired Ethernet (copper/RJ45)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps), backward compatible with 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps and 100 Mbps
• Form factor: internal add-in card for desktop, server or NAS installation
• Offloading features: CPU offload and load balancing support to reduce host processor load

How to use

Install the E10G30-T1 into an available PCIe slot on a compatible system following manufacturer guidelines for anti-static handling and power-down procedures. Attach a compatible RJ45 10GbE-capable copper cable to the port and configure the host operating system or NAS network settings to recognize the adapter. Verify link speed and negotiate duplex settings with the connected switch or endpoint. Update drivers or firmware as recommended to ensure full feature support and optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results, pair the card with network switches and cabling rated for 10GbE operation, ensure adequate cooling within the host chassis, and keep drivers and firmware up to date. When integrating into mixed-speed environments, enable appropriate flow control and offloading options to balance performance and CPU usage.
