Product details
Description
The ipolex 10Gb Network Card Intel X540-T2 is a high-performance PCIe NIC Ethernet card designed for seamless data center scaling, virtualization, and enterprise server environments. Built with the reliable Intel X540-BT2 controller, this dual RJ45 port converged network adapter delivers up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth per port over standard copper Cat6 or Cat6a cabling up to 100 meters.
This card is perfect for network administrators, IT professionals, and power users looking to eliminate network bottlenecks in standard desktop setups or compact rackmount servers. It features an integrated heat sink to effectively manage temperatures during sustained heavy workloads, ensuring stable data transfer speeds.
Fully backwards compatible with standard 1Gbps and 100Mbps networks, it provides a flexible upgrade path without requiring an immediate overhaul of your entire infrastructure. Please note that this specific hardware architecture is engineered for dedicated 10G and 1G operations and does not support intermediate 2.5G or 5G base-T speeds, nor does it support hot-swapping.
How to use
- Power down your server or desktop computer and disconnect the power cable.
- Open the chassis and locate an available PCI Express x8 or x16 slot.
- Remove the slot cover bracket, then firmly insert the ipolex network card into the slot until it is fully seated.
- Secure the bracket with a screw, close the chassis, and reconnect the power.
- Power on your system and install the appropriate Intel X540 drivers from the official operating system repository or Intel Download Center.

FAQs
Does the Intel X540-T2 support 2.5G or 5G speeds?
No, this network card specifically supports 10Gbps and 1Gbps data rates. It does not support intermediate 2.5G or 5G Base-T ethernet speeds.
What type of cabling is required to reach 10Gbps speeds?
To achieve full 10Gbps performance up to 100 meters, it is recommended to use high-quality Category 6a (Cat6a) copper cabling. Standard Cat6 cabling can also be used for shorter distances.
Does this card get hot during standard operation?
Yes, 10GBASE-T copper network adapters naturally generate noticeable heat during operation. The card features an integrated heat sink, but it requires adequate chassis airflow to maintain optimal cooling.
