Lenovo 4XC7A08310 2-Port 10Gb/s RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter

Product Description

The Lenovo 4XC7A08310 is a high-performance network adapter designed to deliver robust 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper cabling. Equipped with two 10Gb/s RJ-45 ports, this adapter is suitable for a wide range of server and workstation applications that demand high bandwidth and low latency. It leverages the efficiency of the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, providing ample bandwidth to support the full speed of both ports without becoming a bottleneck. This adapter is an excellent choice for environments such as data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing clusters where fast and reliable network access is crucial. The 10GBase-T standard ensures compatibility with existing Cat6a or Cat7 Ethernet cabling, facilitating upgrades to 10 Gigabit speeds. The inclusion of both low-profile and full-height brackets allows for flexible installation in various server chassis types. Further enhancing its capabilities, the 4XC7A08310 supports advanced features like RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV). RoCE enables direct memory access between network nodes, significantly reducing CPU utilization and improving application performance, particularly for storage and high-frequency trading workloads. SR-IOV enhances virtualization by providing dedicated network resources to virtual machines, improving performance and isolation. These features make the adapter a powerful component for modern, virtualized, and high-performance computing infrastructures.
