Key Product Advantages
The Synology E10G30-T2 delivers several distinct advantages for network infrastructure upgrades. Its dual-port design provides port density that conserves valuable expansion slots while offering network redundancy or link aggregation capabilities. The 10GBase-T implementation eliminates the need for expensive fiber optic cabling in many deployments, leveraging existing Cat6a or Cat7 copper infrastructure for cost-effective 10 Gigabit connectivity.
Bandwidth Efficiency
With 20 Gbit/s aggregate throughput, this adapter effectively doubles the network capacity of single-port solutions, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications like virtualization, media streaming, and large file transfers.
- PCIe 3.0 x8 interface prevents bottlenecking
- Full-duplex operation on both ports
- Optimized for sustained high-speed transfers
Deployment Flexibility
The low profile/full height bracket and standard dimensions ensure compatibility with a wide range of system enclosures, from 1U servers to desktop workstations.
- Fits both low-profile and standard chassis
- Standard PCIe bracket mounting
- No external power required
Deployment / Use Cases
The E10G30-T2 is particularly well-suited for environments requiring high-speed network connectivity without the complexity of fiber optic infrastructure. In Synology NAS systems, it enables faster data access for multiple concurrent users, reducing transfer times for large files and improving overall system responsiveness. The card's dual ports support link aggregation for increased throughput or failover configurations for enhanced network reliability.
For workstation deployments, this adapter provides professional users with the network performance needed for data-intensive applications like video editing, 3D rendering, and scientific computing. The 10GBase-T connectivity allows direct connection to 10 Gigabit switches using standard twisted pair cabling, simplifying network upgrades in office environments. Server administrators can utilize both ports for separate network segments or combine them for aggregated bandwidth to storage arrays or virtualization hosts.
Physical Profile
The E10G30-T2 features a standard plug-in card form factor with dimensions carefully engineered for compatibility across various system configurations. The card's 2.71" height accommodates both low-profile and full-height chassis through its interchangeable bracket system. With a width of 6.60" and depth of 0.58", the adapter fits standard PCIe slot spacing while maintaining sufficient clearance for adjacent components. The low-profile bracket option makes this card suitable for space-constrained 1U and 2U server deployments where vertical clearance is limited.

User Manual
FAQ
What systems are compatible with the Synology E10G30-T2 add-in card?
The E10G30-T2 is designed for Synology systems with available PCIe 3.0 x8 slots and is also compatible with standard PCs, servers, and workstations that have PCI Express 3.0 x8 expansion slots. The card requires appropriate driver support for the host operating system, which is typically available through Synology's support resources or the system manufacturer's driver repository.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this 10GbE card?
The Synology E10G30-T2 supports a maximum data transfer rate of 20 Gbit/s aggregate throughput across its two ports. Each port operates at 10 Gbit/s, and when both ports are active simultaneously, the card can achieve up to 20 Gbit/s total bandwidth through the PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface, which provides sufficient bandwidth for full-duplex operation on both ports.
What type of cabling does this network adapter require?
This adapter uses 10GBase-T technology, which supports standard twisted pair copper cabling. For optimal performance at 10 Gigabit speeds, Cat6a or Cat7 Ethernet cables are recommended, as they can maintain the necessary signal integrity over distances up to 100 meters. The card is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 cables for shorter distances or lower-speed connections.
Can I use this card in a low-profile server chassis?
Yes, the E10G30-T2 includes a low-profile bracket option that allows installation in compact server enclosures and small form factor systems. The card's 2.71" height with the low-profile bracket makes it suitable for 1U and 2U server deployments where vertical clearance is limited, while still providing full 10 Gigabit performance.
What are the benefits of the dual-port design?
The dual-port configuration offers several advantages: it conserves expansion slots by providing two network connections in one card, enables link aggregation for increased throughput, supports failover configurations for network redundancy, and allows separate network segmentation for different traffic types. This design is particularly valuable in servers and NAS systems where multiple network connections are needed but expansion slots are limited.
Does this card support link aggregation or teaming?
Yes, the E10G30-T2 supports link aggregation (also known as port trunking or teaming) when configured through the host operating system's network settings. This allows both ports to be combined into a single logical interface with increased bandwidth and redundancy. The specific aggregation protocols supported depend on the host system's network driver and operating system capabilities.
