Intel X550T2 10GbE network card

SKU CH-ZSW5-W64RB

Dual-port 10GbE adapter with integrated MAC and PHY for cost-effective server networking

  • 10GbE connectivity with Intel X550 controller
  • Dual-port design doubles throughput capacity
  • Second-generation 10GBASE-T MAC+PHY integration
  • Lower power consumption reduces operating costs
  • Backward compatible with existing GbE infrastructure

Dual 10GbE Ports for Servers

The Intel X550T2 adds two 10GBASE-T ports to a server or workstation through a single PCIe slot. It targets administrators who need 10 Gb/s copper links without moving to fibre.

Integrated MAC+PHY Lowers System Load

The adapter uses a second-generation integrated MAC and PHY to reduce power draw and CPU overhead compared to discrete designs. It fits standard PCIe slots and works with existing Cat6a or Cat7 cabling, avoiding new cable runs.

Replaces Dual 1 GbE NICs When Throughput Matters

Swapping two 1 GbE cards for this one adapter doubles per-port speed while halving slot usage. The upgrade pays off when backup windows shrink or virtualisation traffic saturates gigabit links.

Questions about this item

What sustained throughput does the X550T2 deliver on its 10 GbE ports?

The adapter provides dual 10 GbE ports using integrated 10GBASE-T MAC+PHY for full line-rate traffic.

How much power does the X550T2 draw and how hot does it run during all-day operation?

Second-generation design reduces power consumption compared with earlier 10 GbE adapters, lowering heat output in the chassis.

Which slot type and cabling must already be in the server for the X550T2 to function?

A PCIe slot and Cat6a or better twisted-pair cabling are required to support the 10GBASE-T interfaces.
