Intel X710T2L

Overview

The Intel X710T2L is a PCIe 3.0 x8 network adapter designed to provide servers with dual copper Ethernet ports capable of speeds ranging from 100 Mb to 10 Gb. It supports existing twisted-pair cabling such as Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A up to 100 meters, enabling high-speed connectivity without the need for new fiber installations. This adapter is well suited for data centers, edge servers, and small business environments that require reliable and scalable network performance.

Key features

• Dual RJ-45 ports that support multiple speeds, allowing flexible network configurations from 100 Mb to 10 Gb.
• PCIe 3.0 x8 interface ensures high-bandwidth communication with the host system for demanding workloads.
• Compatibility with standard copper cables up to 100 meters reduces infrastructure costs and simplifies upgrades.
• Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) reduce CPU overhead by directing network traffic efficiently in virtualized environments.
• Flexible Port Partitioning enables allocation of dedicated bandwidth slices to individual virtual machines, improving quality of service management.
• Includes both full-height and low-profile brackets, making installation straightforward across various server chassis types.
• Powered through the PCI Express slot, eliminating the need for external power cables and maintaining a clean server setup.

Key specs

• Interface: PCIe 3.0 x8
• Ports: 2 x RJ-45 copper Ethernet
• Supported speeds: 100 Mb, 1 Gb, 2.5 Gb, 5 Gb, 10 Gb
• Cable compatibility: Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A up to 100 meters
• Form factor: Full-height and low-profile brackets included
• Power: Drawn from PCI Express slot, no external power required

Connectivity and compatibility

This adapter fits seamlessly into 1U, 2U, or tower servers thanks to its included bracket options. It supports a wide range of copper Ethernet cables, allowing it to integrate into existing network infrastructures without costly rewiring. The dual ports can be configured for link aggregation to increase throughput or separated to isolate traffic for management and production purposes.

• Supports link aggregation for enhanced bandwidth and redundancy
• Compatible with standard twisted-pair Ethernet cabling commonly found in enterprise networks
• Works well in virtualized environments with advanced traffic steering features

Ideal uses and environments

This network adapter is a strong choice for data center nodes handling storage replication, hyperconverged clusters requiring consistent internal traffic, and branch office edge servers needing fast uplinks to reduce backup windows. It offers a cost-effective way to boost network throughput while preserving existing copper cabling, making it suitable for organizations looking to upgrade their infrastructure without major overhauls.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
