Intel X550T2G1P5 2-Port 10Gb/s RJ-45 PCIE 3.0 x8 GE Network Adapter

Product Description

The Intel X550T2G1P5 network adapter delivers high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard copper cabling, making it an ideal solution for upgrading existing networks without the need for new fiber optic infrastructure. Featuring two RJ-45 ports, this adapter supports the 10GBASE-T standard, offering speeds of up to 10Gb/s. It is also backward compatible with 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet, ensuring flexibility and ease of integration into networks with mixed speed requirements. Powered by the Intel X550 controller, this adapter provides reliable performance, low power consumption, and advanced features suitable for servers and workstations. The PCIe 3.0 x8 interface ensures sufficient bandwidth to support the full performance of both 10Gb/s ports, minimizing latency and maximizing data throughput for demanding applications. This adapter is particularly useful for environments that require high-speed connectivity for applications such as network-attached storage, virtualization, and data-intensive workloads, but are constrained to using copper cabling. The Intel X550T2G1P5 offers a cost-effective and efficient way to achieve 10GbE speeds over familiar Cat6a or Cat7 cabling.
