Detailed Specifications
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.
