Product Description
The Dell DWD65 network adapter, powered by the Intel X550-T2 controller, is a high-performance solution designed to bring 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to servers and workstations. This adapter features two 10GBASE-T ports, utilizing standard RJ45 connectors, which allows for easy integration into existing network infrastructures using readily available copper cabling like Cat 6a or Cat 7, supporting distances of up to 100 meters. The use of copper simplifies deployment compared to fiber optics, making it a cost-effective choice for many environments. As a Converged Network Adapter (CNA), the Intel X550-T2 controller offers advanced capabilities beyond basic Ethernet, potentially supporting features like iWARP or RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) depending on the system's implementation, which can offload network processing from the CPU and improve application performance. The adapter connects via a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, providing ample bandwidth to support the full speed of both 10GbE ports simultaneously. This makes it suitable for demanding applications such as high-performance computing, data-intensive storage, virtualization, and enterprise networking. This adapter is designed for efficiency, featuring low power consumption characteristics inherent to the Intel X550 series. It is an excellent choice for upgrading server network capabilities to meet the growing bandwidth demands of modern data centers and enterprise networks. The combination of high speed, copper connectivity, and advanced features makes the Dell DWD65 a versatile and powerful networking solution.
