This is an Intel X550-T2 10GbE Dual-Port Ethernet Converged Network Adapter (CNA), featuring RJ45 Ports and a Low-Profile Bracket (P/N: X550T2G1P5, H49289-010, H49279-007, H49277-007). This high-performance network adapter is designed to provide robust and flexible 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper cabling for servers and workstations in demanding data center, cloud, and enterprise environments.
Powered by the highly regarded Intel X550 controller, this CNA offers two 10GbE RJ45 ports, enabling blazing-fast 10 Gigabit Ethernet network speeds crucial for high-throughput applications. The RJ45 (copper) connectivity allows for easy integration into existing twisted-pair network infrastructures, leveraging Cat6A or Cat7 cabling for distances up to 100 meters. Its low-profile bracket makes it suitable for deployment in space-constrained 1U and 2U rack servers, while a full-height bracket may also be available or included (depending on the specific offering). This card is ideal for applications requiring high bandwidth, low latency, and efficient network virtualization, such as database servers, virtualization hosts, and high-performance computing clusters. It supports features like iSCSI, FCoE, and Intel Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c), making it a truly "Converged Network Adapter."
