Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter

Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter ... connection from Intel. It provides enterprises with a highly affordable, low-latency 10GbE network connection for CX4 cable distances up to 15 meters, depending on wire gauge. This makes the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter an ideal solution for high-bandwidth network connections in high-performance computing clusters and for short distances within wiring closets.

Built around the highly integrated Intel 82597EX 10-Gigabit Ethernet Controller for 64-bit PCI-X connections running up to 133 MHz, the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter is ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications. High-speed server connectivity - once reserved for costly, proprietary technologies such as high-performance computing clusters and grid-based computing - can now be achieved with the standardized connectivity of the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter. Wide testing for interoperability with switches from major original equipment manufacturers further helps to ensure that the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter will provide connectivity you can count on.

The Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter helps improve network productivity and eliminate costly proprietary networking topologies while enabling deployment of standards-compliant Ethernet connectivity based on the IEEE 802.3ak 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard for CX4 copper cable.
