  • RJ-45 connectors use existing copper cabling
  • Converged adapter handles LAN and storage traffic
  • Intel X540 controller delivers proven server reliability

Intel X540-T2 Dual Port 10Gbps Adapter

The Intel X540-T2 is a converged network adapter that provides two RJ-45 ports each running at 10 Gbps over a PCI Express interface. It is built around the Intel Ethernet Controller X540 and targets servers and workstations that need high-throughput wired connectivity.

Suited for servers adding 10 GbE links

This card suits administrators upgrading rackmount or tower servers to 10 Gigabit Ethernet using existing copper cabling. It is not for systems that lack a compatible PCI Express slot or for environments that require fibre-optic SFP+ connections instead of RJ-45.

Dual RJ-45 ports at 10 Gbps each

The decisive specification is the pair of RJ-45 ports operating at 10 Gbps, which determines whether the adapter matches the cabling and switch ports already deployed in the rack.

  • Dual 10 Gbps ports double server bandwidth
  • PCI-Express interface fits standard expansion slots
  • RJ-45 connectors use existing copper cabling
  • Converged adapter handles LAN and storage traffic

Questions about this item

How much power does the Intel X540-T2 draw when running 10 Gbps traffic all day?

The adapter uses Intel Ethernet Controller X540 silicon designed for server platforms; typical power draw is documented in Intel's datasheet for the X540 controller.

What slot and cabling do I need to install the Intel X540-T2?

The card requires a PCI-Express slot and two RJ-45 cables rated for 10 Gbps operation.

Will the Intel X540-T2 work in an older server that only has PCIe 2.0 slots?

The adapter plugs into any PCI-Express slot; it will negotiate the highest link speed the slot supports.
