DELL Intel X710 10GbE Card 540-BBML

SKU CH-ZK41-1H9TH

A dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter with SFP+ slots for optical fibre connectivity in servers

  • Dual 10 GbE ports for high-bandwidth server links
  • PCI Express host interface for direct CPU connectivity
  • SFP+ slots accept a range of optical transceivers
  • Plug-in card form factor fits standard server expansion bays
  • Designed for server deployment by Dell Technologies

Dell X710 10GbE Dual-Port Server Card

This Dell X710 network interface card adds two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to a server via a PCI Express slot. It uses SFP+ cages for optical fibre connectivity and is built for data-centre environments. The card suits administrators upgrading rack-mounted servers to 10GBase-X infrastructure.

SFP+ Optical Interface Practical Limits

The SFP+ ports require compatible optical transceivers and matching fibre patch cables, which are not included with the card. Link distance and wavelength support depend entirely on the specific transceiver modules chosen by the installer. The PCI Express host interface determines the maximum throughput available to the operating system.

Upgrade From Single-Port Or 1GbE Adapters

This dual-port 10GbE card replaces single-port 10GbE adapters or older 1 Gigabit Ethernet server NICs when bandwidth aggregation or link redundancy is required. The jump is worth it for virtualisation hosts, storage clusters or high-throughput workloads that saturate gigabit links. It is not for workstations lacking an available PCI Express slot or SFP+ cabling budget.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single-port or the dual-port version of this Intel X710 10GbE card?

This card provides two SFP+ ports, so you can connect two separate optical fibre links from a single PCI Express slot.

What does the 10GbE rating mean for actual server throughput?

Each port operates at 10 gigabits per second over 10GBase-X optical fibre, delivering line-rate bandwidth for demanding server workloads.

Which PCI Express generation does the X710 use and does it limit the 10 Gb/s speed?

The card uses a PCI Express host interface; the bus provides sufficient bandwidth for both 10 Gb/s ports to run at full line rate.
