Product Features
Technical Overview
The I350T2-AO implements Intel's 82576 Gigabit Ethernet controller, which offers hardware-accelerated virtualization features and advanced traffic management capabilities. The dual RJ-45 ports operate independently, allowing for load balancing, failover configurations, or separate network segmentation.
With a PCIe 2.0 x4 interface, the card provides up to 2000 MB/s of theoretical bandwidth per direction, ensuring minimal bottleneck for gigabit traffic across both ports simultaneously. The adapter supports jumbo frames, VLAN tagging, and TCP/IP checksum offloading to reduce CPU overhead.
Relevant factors for this section include Chipset Manufacturer, Chipset Model, Host Interface, Total Number of Ports. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This network interface card combines proven Intel silicon with a practical deployment package. The inclusion of both half-height and full-height brackets allows installation in various server chassis and workstation form factors without additional purchases.
Reliable Connectivity
The Intel 82576 chipset delivers consistent gigabit performance with low latency, making it ideal for applications where network stability is critical.
- Hardware-based virtualization support
- Advanced interrupt moderation
- Energy Efficient Ethernet compliant
Easy Deployment
With standard PCIe compatibility and included mounting brackets, installation requires no special drivers or configuration tools beyond standard operating system support.
- Plug-and-play in supported systems
- Driver support for Windows Server and Linux
- No external power required
Deployment / Use Cases
The I350T2-AO serves as a primary network interface for rackmount servers, tower servers, and high-performance workstations. Its dual-port design enables network redundancy configurations, separate management and data networks, or aggregated links for increased bandwidth.
Virtualization hosts benefit from the card's SR-IOV capability, allowing direct assignment of virtual functions to virtual machines for near-native network performance. Storage servers can use the dual ports for separate front-end and back-end network traffic, while web servers can balance incoming connections across both interfaces.
Server Network Expansion
Add gigabit connectivity to servers with limited onboard ports or replace failed network interfaces without system replacement.
Network Segmentation
Use one port for production traffic and the second for backup, management, or monitoring networks within the same physical server.
Physical Profile
The card measures 4.20 inches in height, 0.80 inches in width, and 4.70 inches in depth, conforming to standard PCIe card dimensions. At approximately 8 ounces, it adds minimal weight to system builds. The low-profile design with included brackets ensures compatibility with both full-height server chassis and smaller form factor systems.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 4.20" (106.68 mm), 0.80" (20.32 mm), 4.70" (119.38 mm), 8 oz (226.80 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What systems is this network card compatible with?
The I350T2-AO is designed for server deployment and requires a PCI Express 2.0 x4 or higher slot. It includes both half-height and full-height brackets, making it compatible with most rackmount servers, tower servers, and workstations that have available PCIe slots. The card is tested for compatibility with major server platforms and operating systems including Windows Server and various Linux distributions.
What is the maximum data transfer speed per port?
Each RJ-45 port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation, with a maximum theoretical throughput of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) in full-duplex mode. The PCIe 2.0 x4 interface provides sufficient bandwidth to sustain gigabit speeds simultaneously on both ports without bottlenecking, making it suitable for applications requiring consistent high-speed network performance.
Does this card support virtualization features?
Yes, the Intel 82576 chipset includes hardware support for virtualization technologies including SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization). This allows the physical network interface to be partitioned into multiple virtual functions that can be assigned directly to virtual machines, reducing CPU overhead and improving network performance in virtualized environments compared to software-based network switching.
What type of cabling does this network card require?
The card supports standard twisted pair Ethernet cabling (Category 5e, 6, or higher) with RJ-45 connectors. It is compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T network standards and supports cable distances up to 100 meters. No special crossover cables or adapters are required as the ports include auto-MDI/MDIX functionality for automatic cable type detection.
What is included in the package besides the network card?
The package contains the complete Intel Gigabit Ethernet Card along with both half-height and full-height mounting brackets. This allows installation in various server chassis configurations without requiring additional hardware. The brackets are easily interchangeable using standard screws, and no additional cables, drivers, or accessories are included beyond what's necessary for basic installation.
What warranty coverage does this product have?
AddOn provides a lifetime limited warranty for the I350T2-AO network interface card. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the functional life of the product when used in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. The warranty applies to the original purchaser and requires proper installation in compatible systems meeting the card's technical requirements.
