About This Product

Alright tech folks and server builders, this 10Gb network card combo is seriously powerful stuff! You get a PCI-E network card with a single SFP+ port that uses the Intel 82599EN controller - it's comparable to the Intel X520-DA1 but way more affordable. Plus, it comes with a 2-meter SFP+ DAC twinax cable that's passive and works with Cisco, Ubiquiti UniFi, Fortinet, and plenty of other systems. The network card supports all the major operating systems - Windows Server, Linux, VMware - so you're covered no matter what system you're running. This is perfect for upgrading your home lab, office server, or gaming rig to 10Gb speeds without breaking the bank. The performance is seriously impressive - we're talking about moving huge files in seconds instead of minutes. The build quality feels solid, and the installation is pretty straightforward if you're comfortable working with PC hardware. The DAC cable is high-quality too - no need to mess with separate transceivers and fiber cables, this direct attach copper cable just works right out of the box. Whether you're connecting to a 10Gb switch, linking two computers directly, or upgrading your NAS connection, this combo has you covered. The Intel controller is known for being reliable and well-supported across different systems. If you're tired of waiting for large file transfers or dealing with network bottlenecks, this 10Gb upgrade will feel like moving from dial-up to broadband all over again. The card fits standard PCI-E slots and doesn't draw too much power either. Seriously, for the price, getting both the card AND the cable is such a great value. Your network performance will be transformed, especially if you work with large files, run virtual machines, or just want the fastest possible connection between your devices. This is one of those upgrades that once you experience it, you'll wonder how you ever managed with regular gigabit speeds. Your network deserves this kind of performance boost!
