About this product
Key features
- ⭐10G SFP Network Card ：Adopting X520 Controller, it provides up to 10Gbps of extreme speed to ensure the stability of Internet access and local data transmission, effectively preventing packet loss and making the server more stable.
- ⭐Support automatic backward negotiation Compatible with IEEE 802.3an, 802.3,802.3u, and 802.3ab, supports Windows/Windows Server/VMware
- ⭐PCIe to 10Gbe SFP: This 10G PCIe network adapter converts PCIe slots (X8/16) into 10G SFP Ethernet ports. Note: Only for PCIe ports, not for PCI slots.
- ⭐Adaptability and heat dissipation: Comes with standard brackets and slim brackets for different applications such as desktops, workstations, servers, and mini-tower computers. Excellent heat dissipation performance can quickly reduce the temperature and keep the stability of network transmission.
- ⭐Customer service： Every NICGIGA 10G NIC is rigorously tested for reliability, quality, and performance. We supply lifetime technical support.

FAQ
Does it include a transceiver?
No, add an SFP+ DAC cable or SR/LR optic separately to complete the link.
Is it ESXi/Proxmox compatible?
Yes, the Intel 82599/X520 design is natively supported in VMware ESXi and Linux-based hypervisors via the ixgbe driver.
What PCIe slot do I need?
A PCIe x8 (or x16) slot; it will also function in a physically x8 slot wired x4 with reduced headroom.
