Axiom PCIe 2.0 x8 10GBase-T Adapter
This Axiom dual-port copper network adapter connects to a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot and provides two RJ-45 ports running at 10GBase-T speeds. It is built for servers and workstations that need wired 10 Gbps connectivity over twisted-pair cabling. The card is validated for specific branded OEM systems and targets IT teams consolidating data and storage traffic on a single adapter.
Sustained enterprise throughput
Each adapter is 100-percent tested to ensure long-term reliability in high-transaction and mission-critical environments. The design maximises I/O consolidation with high-performance ports optimised for virtualisation workloads. It supports concurrent data and storage I/O while integrating with existing Fibre Channel and Ethernet networks to protect current infrastructure investments.
Straightforward OEM installation
The half-height bracket fits standard low-profile slots and the PCIe 2.0 x8 interface works in x8 or wider lanes without extra configuration. Buyers who need fibre-based connections or more than two ports cannot use this copper model. Compatibility is limited to the designated branded systems listed by the manufacturer, so verify the exact server model before ordering.

Questions about this item
How much power does the PCIe 2.0 x8 dual-port 10GBase-T adapter draw under continuous load?
The adapter is designed for enterprise environments and optimizes I/O consolidation, which helps reduce operating expenses through efficient power use during sustained operation.
What cabling must I already have to use the two RJ-45 ports on this copper network adapter?
You need Category 6a or better twisted-pair copper cabling terminated with RJ-45 connectors to achieve the supported 10GBase-T link speed on each port.
Will this PCIe 2.0 x8 card work in an older server that only has PCIe 1.0 or 32-bit PCI slots?
The card requires a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot; it is not compatible with 32-bit PCI or PCIe 1.0 slots, so the host system must provide at least a PCIe 2.0 x8 connection.
