ASUS XG-C100C V2 10GBase-T PCI-E network connector

SKU CH-7KXN-FZACQ

A PCIe network adapter delivering 10 Gbps Ethernet with multi-speed support down to 100 Mbps and an integrated heatsink for sustained performance

  • 10 Gbps wired speed for large transfers and streaming
  • Works with 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G and 100 Mbps networks
  • Standard PCIe slot fits desktop workstations and gaming PCs
  • Integrated heatsink keeps performance steady under load
  • Windows and Linux support for home, creator and business use

10GBase-T PCIe Network Adapter

The ASUS XG-C100C V2 adds a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet port to a desktop workstation or gaming PC through a standard PCIe slot. It targets users who move large project files, stream high-bitrate media, or access fast NAS storage over a wired LAN.

Check PCIe slot and cabling

Verify that the motherboard has a free PCIe slot and that the chassis can accommodate a full-height bracket. The link will negotiate down to 5G, 2.5G, 1G, or 100 Mbps, so existing Cat5e or better cabling and a compatible switch or router are required for the chosen speed.

Heatsink design aids sustained loads

An integrated heatsink dissipates heat during prolonged high-throughput transfers without needing active cooling. Driver support for Windows and Linux lets the card serve gaming rigs, creator workstations, or small business servers, freeing the onboard 1G port for secondary traffic.

Questions about this item

Does the ASUS XG-C100C V2 include the cables needed for a 10G connection?

The adapter provides the PCIe card with its integrated heatsink; Ethernet cables rated for the desired speed must be purchased separately.

Should I choose this model if my switch only runs at 2.5G?

Yes, the card negotiates down to 2.5G, 1G and 100 Mbps, so it works with slower switches while leaving headroom for a future 10G upgrade.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the advertised 10 Gbps link?

The 10 Gbps figure is the physical link rate; actual file-transfer speeds will be lower due to protocol overhead, CPU load, storage speed and cable quality.
