Intel X520-T2 2-port 10Gbps PCI-E 2.0 x8 network card

SKU CH-K49W-QSH2M MPN X520-T2

Two-port 10 Gbps PCI-E 2.0 x8 Ethernet adapter for high-speed wired networking

  • TypeModem
  • Dual 10 Gbps ports double network throughput
  • PCI-E 2.0 x8 slot fits modern servers and workstations
  • Low-profile bracket included for space-constrained chassis
  • Intel controller offloads CPU for sustained wire-speed traffic
  • Ready for virtualisation and high-performance storage clusters

Dual-port 10Gbps server adapter

The Intel X520-T2 is a PCI Express 2.0 x8 network card that provides two 10Gbps Ethernet ports for copper cabling. It is built for servers and workstations that need high-throughput wired connections over existing Cat6a or Cat7 infrastructure.

Suits 10GBASE-T uplinks; not for fibre links

This card suits administrators adding 10GBASE-T uplinks to rack-mount hosts or storage appliances that already have an x8 slot available. Buyers who need SFP+ fibre ports or a single-port interface should look at a different model.

PCI Express 2.0 x8 electrical interface

The adapter requires a PCI Express 2.0 x8 electrical connection to deliver full 10Gbps throughput on both ports simultaneously. A slot wired with fewer lanes will limit total bandwidth.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the X520-T2 with part number E95990-004 or CPU-E76983?

Both part numbers refer to the same dual-port 10Gbps PCI-E 2.0 x8 adapter; you will receive a compatible variant that works with your system.

What does the 10Gbps rating deliver inside a server?

Each of the two ports supports up to 10Gbps over twisted-pair copper, giving a combined 20Gbps of wired throughput when both links are active.

How does the PCI-E 2.0 x8 interface affect maximum speed?

The x8 slot provides enough bandwidth for dual 10Gbps traffic, so the card reaches its rated port speed without bottleneck.
