Intel Ethernet Network Adapter X710-T2L - 10GbE PCIe Network Card for Servers

The Intel Ethernet Network Adapter X710-T2L is designed to enhance server connectivity with reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. This plug-in card supports multi-speed operations including 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 10GBASE-T, offering versatile compatibility for a wide range of networking environments. Its advanced features enable high throughput and low latency, making it ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and cloud infrastructure. The adapter's efficient power management, including Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), reduces power consumption during periods of low data activity, promoting environmentally friendly operations. The X710-T2L is part of Intel's 700 Series, known for broad interoperability and critical performance optimizations that support modern networking demands.

Designed with virtualization in mind, the adapter utilizes Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) to deliver exceptional I/O performance in virtualized server environments. Features like Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) enable efficient traffic handling and port partitioning, reducing bottlenecks and maximizing resource utilization. Up to 128 virtual functions (VFs) can be created, each supporting dedicated data paths for virtual machines or network segments, facilitating scalable and isolated network traffic management. The adapter also supports Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) for optimized packet processing, ensuring high performance for NFV and cloud deployments.

The X710-T2L includes hardware offloads such as Intel® Ethernet Flow Director for application traffic steering and virtualization offloads including VXLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE, and MPLS. Its PCIe v3.0 x8 interface provides high bandwidth connectivity, and its compliance with EMI standards ensures reliable operation in diverse environments. The adapter comes with a full-height bracket and a low-profile bracket for flexible installation. With extensive testing, validation, and support for multiple media types, the Intel X710-T2L provides a robust foundation for scalable, high-performance network infrastructure.
