Product Features
Product Overview
The QNAP QXG-10G2T-X710 is a high-performance dual-port 10Gigabit Ethernet card designed to deliver enterprise-grade network throughput for demanding IT environments. Built with a PCI Express 3.0 x4 host interface, this card provides the necessary bandwidth to handle intensive data transfers, making it an ideal upgrade for servers, NAS devices, workstations, and network switches.
Featuring two RJ-45 ports that support 10GBase-T technology over standard twisted-pair cabling, the card simplifies deployment by leveraging existing copper infrastructure. Its plug-in card form factor ensures straightforward installation in compatible PCIe slots, while support for cost-effective twisted-pair cables allows for cable runs up to 100 meters without sacrificing performance.
Technical Overview
Engineered for high-bandwidth applications, the QXG-10G2T-X710 delivers data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps per port, significantly reducing network bottlenecks in storage, virtualization, and media workflows. The PCIe 3.0 x4 interface offers enhanced bandwidth allocation, ensuring that the operating system and applications can access network resources with minimal latency.
The card's dual-port design enables link aggregation or independent network segmentation, providing flexibility for load balancing, failover configurations, or dedicated uplinks. Each port supports auto-negotiation for backward compatibility with lower-speed networks, while the 10GBase-T standard ensures reliable performance over Category 6a or better cabling.
Key Product Advantages
This Ethernet card stands out by combining high-speed connectivity with practical deployment features. Its use of standard RJ-45 ports and twisted-pair cabling eliminates the need for expensive fiber optics or specialized transceivers, reducing both initial investment and ongoing maintenance costs.
