  • Supports 1000Base-SX, 10GBase-LR and 10GBase-SR optical and twinaxial media

Dual 10 GbE SFP+ adapter for servers

The Intel X710DA2BLK plugs into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and presents two SFP+ ports for 10 GbE fibre or twinax links. It targets administrators adding high-speed uplinks to rack-mount or tower servers that have an x8 lane available. The card is sold new in a bulk white box without retail packaging.

Converged networking features offload CPU work

On-board virtualization engines handle VMDq, SR-IOV and VEB switching so the host processor spends fewer cycles on packet steering. Flexible LAN and SAN partitioning lets the same physical ports carry storage and data traffic simultaneously. These capabilities are baked into the X710 controller rather than added through extra software licences.

Two ports deliver 40 Gb/s aggregate throughput

Each port runs at 10 Gb/s full duplex, giving 40 Gb/s combined transmit and receive bandwidth across the pair. A quad-port variant would reach 80 Gb/s bi-directional, but this dual-port model stops at the 40 Gb/s ceiling. The PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface supplies enough lane bandwidth to saturate both ports without bottleneck.

Questions about this item

What maintenance or replacement will the Intel X710DA2BLK 10GbE dual-port SFP+ adapter need later?

The SFP+ modules are hot-swappable optics; they can be replaced individually if a link fails or a different reach is required, while the adapter card itself has no moving parts or user-serviceable components.

What limit shows up first under sustained use of the Intel X710DA2BLK?

The PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface caps aggregate throughput at the lane bandwidth, so sustained line-rate traffic on both 10 GbE ports will hit the bus ceiling before the controller does.

How much noise, heat or power does the Intel X710DA2BLK produce when running all day?

The card is passively cooled and draws power only from the PCIe slot, so it adds no fan noise and its thermal output stays within the slot power envelope during continuous operation.
