Dual-port 10GbE adapter

The Intel X550-T2 adds two RJ45 ports that autonegotiate between 1GbE, 2.5GbE, 5GbE and 10GbE. It targets servers and workstations that need copper 10GbE without replacing existing CAT6 or CAT6A runs. The card plugs into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and presents a standard Ethernet interface to the operating system. No optical transceivers or proprietary cabling are required.

Fits standard server builds

A single PCIe 3.0 lane group at 8.0 GT/s supplies the bandwidth both ports need at line rate. CAT6 cabling reaches 55 metres at 10GbE while CAT6A extends that to 100 metres, supporting ToR, MoR and EoR topologies. The adapter frees upstream switch ports by consolidating two 10GbE links into one add-in card. It works with existing copper patch panels and structured wiring plants.

Low-profile thermal design

The board draws modest power typical for a dual-port 10GbE controller and relies on chassis airflow across its heatsink. No onboard fan means acoustic output is limited to the system fans already present in rackmount or tower enclosures. Passive cooling keeps the adapter within spec in normal data-centre inlet temperatures. Power consumption scales with link speed and traffic load on the two ports.

Questions about this item

How far can the Intel X550-T2 reliably carry a 10GbE signal over Cat 6 cabling?

The adapter supports RJ45 Category 6 up to 55 metres for 10GbE links.

What is the typical power draw of the X550-T2 when running 10GbE continuously?

Intel rates the X550T2 at 10 watts typical power consumption under load.

Which PCIe slot generation and width does the X550-T2 require for full 10GbE throughput?

It needs a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot (8.0 GT/s) to deliver dual-port 10GbE line rate.
