Intel I210-T1 - Network Interface Card

The Intel I210-T1 Ethernet Server Adapter (PCIe 2.1, 1x RJ45, Copper Gigabit) provides a wired connection for enterprise hardware. This network interface card connects to the host system via a PCI Express 2.1 x1 slot. It supports data transfer rates of 1000 Mbit/s, providing standard Gigabit performance for typical server applications. Operating at 2.5 GT/s, the card is designed for server chassis installations that require a dedicated copper-based link.

The card uses the Intel I210 controller to manage communication and handle traffic offloads, which reduces host CPU overhead. The board measures 18 mm by 67 mm, making it suitable for compact motherboard layouts. It includes both low-profile and full-height brackets to ensure compatibility with different enclosure dimensions. A single RJ45 port provides the physical connection. This hardware is designed specifically for wired networking and excludes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, as required for environments that mandate isolated physical infrastructure.

• Supports VLAN tagging via IEEE 802.1Q for network segmentation and isolated traffic routing.
• Maintains data transmission over Category 5 copper cabling up to a distance of 100 metres.
• Consumes 1 W of power to minimise thermal load inside densely packed servers.
• Complies with IEEE 802.1as standards to provide precise timing and synchronisation across connected hardware.
• Operates across 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T protocols to support legacy and modern network switches.
