StarTech.com ST10GSPEXNDP2 2-Port 10GbE PCIe Network Interface Card

StarTech 2-Port 10Gbps PCIe Network Adapter Card, Network Card for PC/Server, PCIe Ethernet Card w/Jumbo Frame, NIC/LAN Interface Card

Upgrade a server, workstation, or compatible computer with the StarTech.com ST10GSPEXNDP2 2-port 10GbE PCI Express network interface card. Designed with independent Ethernet controllers, this PCIe Ethernet adapter provides two high-bandwidth RJ45 connections for demanding environments that require fast data transfer, dependable connectivity, and failover or redundancy protection for critical applications.

The dual-port NIC supports six negotiated network speeds: 10Gbps, 5Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 1Gbps, 100Mbps, and 10Mbps. Its 10GBASE-T and NBASE-T compatibility enables 10Gbps networking over Cat6 or better cabling, while 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps connections can use existing Cat5e copper infrastructure for runs up to 100 meters. This makes the StarTech.com ST10GSPEXNDP2 a practical solution for upgrading network performance without replacing all existing cabling.

Built for professional network management, the card supports PXE boot, Wake-on-LAN, VLAN tagging, IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload, full-duplex operation, Audio Video Bridging, and 16K-byte Jumbo Frames to help reduce packet overhead during large transfers. UEFI Secure Boot support adds an additional layer of platform security. The adapter connects through a PCIe x4 3.0 or 4.0 slot, includes a preinstalled full-height bracket, and comes with a low-profile bracket for small form factor systems.

Compatible with Windows, Windows Server, and Linux operating systems, this black plug-in network card is suitable for servers, storage systems, backup environments, media streaming, virtualization, and other data-intensive workloads. The StarTech.com ST10GSPEXNDP2 includes the 10Gigabit Ethernet Card, a low-profile bracket, and a quick-start guide, and is backed by a limited two-year warranty.
