X550T2BLK - Intel 10GBase-T Dual-Port Ethernet Converged Network Adapter

Description

The Intel X550T2BLK network adapter provides a robust and versatile solution for upgrading server and workstation network connectivity to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Featuring two RJ-45 ports, it leverages standard Cat6a or Cat7 copper cabling to achieve 10Gb/s speeds, making it an economical choice for environments that already have existing copper infrastructure. This adapter is built around the Intel Ethernet Controller X550, known for its reliability, performance, and energy efficiency. This adapter supports the 10GBASE-T standard, offering high-speed networking capabilities essential for demanding applications such as large file transfers, virtualization, and high-performance computing. It also provides backward compatibility with 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet, ensuring seamless integration into existing networks and allowing for a phased upgrade path. The PCIe 3.0 x8 interface provides sufficient bandwidth to support the full performance of both 10Gb/s ports without becoming a bottleneck. The Intel X550T2BLK is designed for enterprise and data center use, offering features that enhance network performance and manageability. Its low power consumption contributes to reduced operational costs in server environments. With its dual-port configuration and RJ-45 connectors, it offers a practical and high-performance networking upgrade for a wide range of server platforms.
