StarTech ST10GPEXNDPI Dual Port 10GBASE T NBASE T Network Card

overview

The StarTech ST10GPEXNDPI is a high‑performance dual‑port 10 Gigabit Ethernet network interface card designed to add multi‑speed 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100 Mbps RJ45 connectivity to servers, workstations, or desktops via a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot. It uses an Intel X550‑series chipset to deliver reliable performance with advanced features such as 9K jumbo frames, 802.1Q VLAN tagging, and Auto‑MDIX. The onboard NBASE‑T technology supports multigigabit speeds over existing Cat5e cabling, reducing infrastructure upgrade costs for medium‑distance links.

This NIC is deployed in data centers, virtualization hosts, and mission‑critical systems requiring dual‑path high‑bandwidth connectivity for redundancy or bandwidth aggregation. It supports SAN features like iSCSI offload and can operate in both servers and high‑performance desktops. It is NOT suited for environments without Cat5e/Cat6 cabling or systems lacking PCIe x4 slot support.
