Intel X550T2 Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X550-T2 DUAL PORT 10GbE ETHERNET ADAPTER Single Pack

Intelu00AE Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X550 Product Brief 10 GbE for the Broad Market The Intelu00AE Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X550 is the newest innovation in Intelu2019s leadership to drive 10 GbE into the broad server market. This adapter hosts Intelu2019s latest Ethernet silicon, the Intelu00AE Ethernet Controller X550, a low cost single-chip 10GBASE-T solution for todayu2019s server platforms. Simplify the Transition to 10 GbE With 10GBASE-T, migr ation to 10 GbE is dramatically simplified with backward compatibility for your existing GbE network infrastructure. Install an X550 adapter into a server and the auto-negotiation between 1 GbE and 10 GbE provides the necessary backwards compatibility that most customers require for a smooth transition and easy migration to 10 GbE. When time and budget allows, 10GBASE-T switches can be added any time to experience the full benefits of 10 GbE. 10GBASE-T uses the copper twisted-pair cables that are very familiar to IT professionals today. It is all you know and love about 1000BASE-T. The knowledge, training, and investment in BASE-T are preserved. 10GBASE-T is the easiest and most versatile 10 GbE interface that can be deployed anywhere in your data center. Its flexible reach from 1 meter to 100 meters supports the latest network architectures including Top of Rack (ToR), Middle of Row (MoR), and End of Row (EoR).
