Network adapter Dell X550-T4 10Gb 4-port NDC

Dell X550-T4 10Gb 4-port NDC is a server network adapter in NDC (Network Daughter Card) form factor intended for Dell PowerEdge systems. The adapter provides four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to deliver high-throughput connectivity for virtualization, storage networks and uplink aggregation. Identified by manufacturer part number 64PJ8-RFB, this Dell-branded card fits compatible server platforms and supports multi-port 10Gb connections for data center and enterprise networking scenarios.

Advantages

The Dell X550-T4 offers consolidated 10Gb connectivity across four ports in a compact NDC module, reducing the need for multiple separate adapters and saving server slot space. By providing four independent 10Gb Ethernet interfaces, it enables higher aggregate bandwidth and flexible NIC teaming or multipathing configurations. The adapter's NDC form factor simplifies installation in supported Dell servers and helps maintain consistent management and driver support when used within Dell ecosystems.
