Single-port 10 GbE NIC

This C&N network card adds a single 10 Gbps Ethernet port to a desktop or server through a PCIe x4 slot. It uses the Marvell AQC107S controller to deliver multi-gigabit connectivity for workstations, NAS units or small-business servers that need faster wired throughput than standard gigabit adapters provide.

PCIe x4 bandwidth and cabling limits

The card operates at PCIe 3.0 x4 (8.0 GT/s per lane) and is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 x4 (5.0 GT/s per lane). At 10 GBASE-T speeds it requires Category 6a or Category 7 cabling to reach 100 metres; Category 6 is limited to 55 metres. For 5 GbE and 2.5 GbE links, existing Category 5e runs of up to 100 metres are sufficient.

Marvell AQC107S controller

The AQC107S chipset integrates NBASE-T PHY technology and supports 10GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-T auto-negotiation. It provides hardware offloads for IPv4/IPv6 checksums, large send, RSS, DCA and jumbo frames up to 16 kbytes, plus IEEE 1588v2 precision timing and Energy Efficient Ethernet for reduced host CPU load.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a PCIe x4 or x8 slot for this 10 Gbps card?

This card uses a PCIe x4 connector and is compliant with PCI Express 3.0 and 2.0, so it fits and runs at full speed in any x4, x8 or x16 slot.

What real throughput can I expect from the 10 Gbps rating on my PC?

The Marvell AQC107S controller delivers line-rate 10 GbE performance and supports auto-negotiation down to 5 GbE, 2.5 GbE, 1 GbE and 100 MbE depending on your switch and cabling.

Which PCIe generation limits the card and what cabling does 10 Gbps need?

The card operates at PCIe 3.0 x4 (8.0 GT/s per lane) or 2.0 x4 (5.0 GT/s per lane); 10GBASE-T requires Cat 6a for 100 m or Cat 6 for up to 55 m.
