Quad-port 10GBase-T server adapter

This Axiom network card delivers four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports over RJ45 connectors using a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface. It is built around the Intel XL710 controller and targets servers and workstations that need dense 10GbE connectivity over copper cabling. The card supports standard CAT6a wiring and NBASE-T operation at 2.5 and 5.0 GbE over CAT5e.

Upgrade from single or dual 1GbE NICs

The quad-port design replaces multiple 1000BASE-T adapters while keeping existing copper infrastructure. Migration is simplified by full backward compatibility with 1GbE switches and cabling. The jump is worth it when a host requires aggregated 10GbE throughput for virtualization, iSCSI or FCoE traffic without moving to fibre.

Sustained multi-queue throughput under load

Hardware offloads for VXLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE, MPLS and VXLAN-GPE with NSH reduce CPU overhead during extended virtualized workloads. Flexible Port Partitioning lets each physical port present multiple PCIe functions to the hypervisor. Small-packet performance remains consistent for network appliances and NFV deployments running at line rate.

Questions about this item

What slot width does the PCIe 3.0 x8 card need?

The card requires a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot for full bandwidth.

Which driver step is often missed when installing the Intel XL710 controller?

Install the Intel XL710 driver before connecting cables so the ports negotiate 10GBase-T correctly.

When should the RJ45 ports be cleaned to maintain 10GBase-T link quality?

Inspect and clean the four RJ45 ports whenever cable changes cause errors or speed drops to 2.5 or 5.0 GbE.
