DELL 5N7Y5 Intel X710 Dual Port SFP+ Adapter PCIe 3.0 x8 10 Gbps

SKU CH-7N92-29TQ5

Dual-port 10 Gbps SFP+ network card with PCIe 3.0 x8 interface for high-speed wired connectivity

  • Speed10Gbps
  • InterfacePCI-Express
  • Dual 10 Gbps ports boost server throughput
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 interface fits modern server slots
  • Intel X710 controller handles virtualized workloads efficiently
  • SFP+ cages allow flexible fibre or copper links
  • Plug-in card form factor installs in standard PCIe slots

Dual-Port 10 Gbps Server Adapter

The Dell 5N7Y5 Intel X710 is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed for servers and workstations that need high-throughput wired connectivity. It targets administrators building or upgrading data-centre hosts for virtualization, storage or heavy network workloads.

PCIe 3.0 x8 Host Interface

The card plugs into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and presents two SFP+ cages for fibre or direct-attach copper cabling. It offloads protocol processing from the host CPU, freeing cycles for applications while supporting advanced virtualization features such as SR-IOV and VMDq.

Upgrade from Single-Port or 1 GbE NICs

The jump is worthwhile when a single 10 GbE link saturates or when redundancy demands a second physical path. It does not suit builds limited to PCIe x4 slots, systems lacking SFP+ optics budgets, or environments still running exclusively at 1 Gbps.

Questions about this item

Does the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface deliver enough bandwidth for both 10 Gbps ports at line rate?

The x8 link provides sufficient throughput for dual 10 Gbps operation without oversubscription.

How much heat and power does the adapter produce during continuous 10 Gbps traffic?

Typical power draw stays within the PCIe slot limit and the passive heatsink handles sustained loads without a fan.

Which SFP+ modules and cables are required to connect the two ports?

Any standards-compliant 10 Gbps SFP+ transceiver or direct-attach cable works with both ports.
