Description

StarTech ST10GPEXNDPI Dual-Port 10Gbps PCIe Network Adapter Card

Overview

The StarTech ST10GPEXNDPI is a PCI Express 3.0 x4 network adapter card designed to add two 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports to a server or workstation. This card is essential for environments requiring high-speed data transfer, such as demanding surveillance systems, large file transfers, or network-attached storage (NAS) connectivity. It supports a wide range of network speeds, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure while providing a clear upgrade path to 10Gbps. The Intel x550AT2 chipset ensures reliable performance and broad operating system support.

Compatibility

This adapter card is compatible with any standard desktop or server motherboard featuring a PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot (or higher, such as x8 or x16). It supports Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Server 2019, 2016, 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2, and Linux distributions. For surveillance applications, it integrates seamlessly with NVRs and servers running VMS software that require high-throughput network connections for multiple IP cameras, especially those operating at higher resolutions or frame rates.

Installation Notes

The card includes both a standard-profile bracket and a low-profile (LP) bracket for installation in various chassis types. It operates within a temperature range of 5°C to 50°C (41°F to 122°F), making it suitable for most standard IT environments. Jumbo Frame support up to 9K max. assists in optimizing network throughput by reducing packet overhead for large data transfers. VLAN tagging (IEEE 802.1q) allows for network segmentation and improved traffic management.
