Intel X540-T1 10GbE PCIe 2.0 x8 Switch Module

SKU CH-PHQ6-5T1N9 MPN X540-T1

A single-port 10GbE PCIe 2.0 x8 adapter with RJ-45 copper connectivity for servers and workstations

  • 10 GbE throughput over standard copper cabling
  • Single RJ-45 port with 1000/100/10 Mbps backward compatibility
  • PCIe 2.0 x8 interface for servers and workstations
  • Hardware offloads for iSCSI, FCoE and TCP/IP checksum
  • Jumbo frames up to 9.5 KB for virtualization workloads

Network adapter for servers

The Intel X540-T1 is a single-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter built for servers and workstations. It fits a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot and works with Windows, Linux and virtualization platforms. The card provides copper connectivity without requiring fiber infrastructure.

Single RJ-45 10GbE port

The decisive specification is the one RJ-45 port running at 10 Gbps over CAT 6a or CAT 7 cable up to 100 metres. It also negotiates down to 1000, 100 or 10 Mbps for mixed environments. Buyers who need more than one 10GbE connection from a single slot cannot use this card.

Low-power idle and offloads

Intel Low Power Idle technology reduces draw when the link is quiet. Hardware offloads for iSCSI, FCoE and TCP/IP checksums move work off the host CPU. Jumbo frames up to 9.5 KB and SR-IOV support keep latency low in virtualized workloads.

Questions about this item

What does the 10 GbE rating actually deliver inside a server?

The card provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet throughput over copper, quadrupling standard Gigabit bandwidth for virtualization and data-center workloads.

How does the PCIe 2.0 x8 interface limit real-world speed?

The PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot supplies enough bandwidth for the single 10 GbE port, so the interface does not cap the adapter's rated throughput.

What slot and bracket does the X540-T1 need to mount?

It requires a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot and ships with a full-height bracket for standard server or workstation chassis.
