ipolex 10Gb Network Card - 10GbE NIC RJ45 Port

The ipolex 10Gb Network Card delivers high-speed 10Gbps connectivity with a single RJ45 port, designed as a cost-effective alternative to Intel X540-T1 solutions. Powered by the Intel X540-BT2 controller, this network interface card supports single-root I/O virtualisation (SR-IOV) to optimise network performance across virtualised environments. The card operates at data rates of 10Gbps and 1Gbps with Cat.6a cabling reaching up to 100 metres. It includes both full height and low profile brackets, making it compatible with standard desktop computers and server installations. Support extends to Windows Server, Windows, Linux, and VMware platforms, though macOS is not supported. Please note that Windows 11 setup requires installing Windows 10 drivers first, and this card does not support hot swapping. Dell and HPE server users should verify MCU compatibility with their host operating system before purchase.
