Value Brand X550-T2 10Gb Dual RJ45 PCIe 3.0 x4 Network Card

SKU CH-JKQQ-K8JET

Dual-port 10GBASE-T card adds two copper 10 GbE links over a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot and includes both low-profile and full-height brackets

  • TypePCI Express to Ethernet Port Card
  • Dual 10 GbE ports deliver 100 Mb to 10 GbE speeds per port
  • PCIe 3.0 x4 interface provides 8.0 GT/s bandwidth compatible with 1.1 and 2.0
  • Includes low-profile and full-height brackets for flexible chassis fit
  • Supports Windows 7 through 2016 64-bit, Linux RHEL 6-7, SUSE 11-12, Ubuntu 14-16 and FreeBSD
  • Copper RJ45 connectivity enables 10GBASE-T over existing twisted-pair cabling

Dual 10GBASE-T Network Card

This Value Brand network card adds two 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports through a PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot. It supports link speeds of 100Mb, 1GbE and 10GbE per port and includes both low-profile and full-height brackets for flexible installation.

Suited for 10G copper uplinks

The card suits servers or workstations that need dual 10G copper connections on Windows, Linux or FreeBSD systems. It is not for buyers who need fibre SFP+ ports, single-port 10G, or connectivity beyond 10GbE per port.

PCI Express 3.0 x4 interface

The card requires a PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot and is compatible with x8 and x16 slots as well as earlier 1.1 and 2.0 generations. Verify your motherboard provides an x4 electrical link to reach the stated 10GbE throughput.

Questions about this item

Will the Intel X550 controller on this card need a firmware update or hardware replacement after extended 10 GbE operation?

The Intel X550 controller is a mature design; firmware updates are available from Intel if required, but no scheduled hardware replacement is needed for the card itself.

Does the PCIe 3.0 x4 link limit total throughput when both RJ45 ports run at 10 GbE continuously?

Yes, the x4 interface provides 8.0 GT/s bandwidth that both 10 GbE ports share, so sustained dual-port traffic will hit the bus ceiling first.

How much heat and power does the card produce when both 10 GbE links are active all day?

The X550-T2 is a passive, low-profile design with no fan; typical power draw is modest for a dual 10 GbE controller, and it relies on case airflow for cooling.
