The Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X550-T2 is an internal PCIe 3.0 card designed for server environments. It provides a wired network interface with two RJ45 ports, offering a maximum data transfer rate of 10,000 Mbit/s. The card uses an 8.0 GT/s x4 lane connection and includes auto-negotiation to scale to 100, 1000, 2500, or 5000 Mbit/s, ensuring compatibility with existing switch infrastructure.
The adapter is supplied with both low-profile and full-height brackets to suit different chassis sizes. Its range depends on the cabling used, reaching up to 55 metres on Category 6 and 100 metres on Category 6A. The hardware supports storage-over-Ethernet protocols, including iSCSI, FCoE, and NFS. It is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2003 through 2012 R2, and various enterprise Linux distributions. The card also supports VLAN tagging for network segmentation.
