SMUGDESK 10GBASE-T Multi-Gigabit Card

This PCIe 3.0 x4 network adapter uses the Aquantia AQC113 controller to deliver 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G and 100Mbps speeds over a single RJ45 port. It targets desktop PCs, servers, NAS appliances and soft-router builds that need wired throughput beyond 1Gbps. The card includes both full-height and low-profile brackets for standard or slim chassis. macOS is not supported.

Sustained Load Behaviour

A passive aluminum heatsink handles heat during continuous 24/7 operation such as NAS disk pooling, large file backup or multi-WAN aggregation. Hardware checksum offload reduces CPU overhead when moving data at multi-gigabit rates. Auto-negotiation downshifts to 5G, 2.5G or 1G when cabling or switch ports limit the link. Jumbo frames up to 16KB and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging are supported for efficient long-duration transfers.

Installation and Common Issues

The x4 edge connector fits x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slots, and the dual brackets let you choose the profile that matches your case. Drivers are available for Windows 10, 11, Server editions, mainstream Linux distributions, OpenWrt, iKuai and Proxmox. No driver exists for any macOS version, so Apple systems cannot use this card. Cat6a cable is required for the full 100m reach at 10Gbps; Cat6 only reaches 55m at that speed.

Questions about this item

Does the passive aluminum heatsink keep the AQC113 chip cool during 24/7 operation?

The preinstalled large passive heatsink guarantees steady heat dissipation under continuous 24/7 running for home NAS, small business server and DIY routing host.

My motherboard only has a PCIe x1 slot — will the x4 card still work?

The PCIe 3.0 x4 interface is backward compatible with PCIe x1, x2, x8 and x16 motherboard slots for flexible installation on mainstream chassis.

Will this card link at 10 Gbps over the Cat 6 cable I already have installed?

Cat 6 supports 10 G up to 55 m; Cat 6A reaches full 10 Gbps within 100 m, and the port auto downshifts to 5G, 2.5G or 1G to match existing switch equipment.
