QNAP QXG-ES10G1T E1.S LAN Module network transceiver module 10000 Mbit/s RJ-45

The QNAP QXG-ES10G1T is a compact E1.S network expansion module equipped with the Marvell® Scalable mGig AQC113 controller to provide high-speed 10GbE transmission over an RJ-45 port. Designed for NAS systems, the module supports multiple LAN speeds and installs without tools using a hand-screw form factor, enabling straightforward upgrades to network throughput.

Advantages

The module supports five LAN speeds (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M) to match varied network requirements and is compatible with IEEE 802.3an and IEEE 802.3bz standards. PCIe Gen3 x4 connectivity delivers up to 32 Gbps host transfer bandwidth. Its compact E1.S format and toolless hand-screw design simplify installation into compatible NAS units, and the unit’s RJ-45 interface allows integration with existing copper-based network infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Upgrading NAS storage systems to 10GbE or multi-gigabit connectivity
• Creating high-bandwidth local networks for small and medium enterprises
• Pairing with QNAP 10GbE switches to accelerate storage and backup operations

Key specifications

How to use

Power down the compatible NAS and insert the QXG-ES10G1T into the designated E1.S slot. Secure the module using the integrated hand-screw design to complete the toolless installation. After powering the NAS back on, configure network settings in the NAS management interface to select the desired LAN speed and enable the 10GbE or multi-gigabit connection. Connect the RJ-45 port to a compatible switch or router using standard Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a cabling according to the selected speed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance at 10GbE speeds use Cat6a or higher cabling and pair the module with a compatible QNAP 10GbE switch. Verify NAS firmware and driver support for the AQC113 controller and ensure proper ventilation for sustained high-throughput operation.
