Allied Telesis AT-ANC10T/2-901 Dual-Port 10GBase-T PCIe Network Adapter
Overview
The Allied Telesis AT-ANC10T/2-901 is a TAA-compliant, dual-port 10GBase-T PCIe network interface card designed for federal, government, and enterprise deployments where procurement compliance is mandatory. The AT-ANC10T/2-901 delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard Cat6a/Cat7 copper cabling, eliminating the need for fiber infrastructure or SFP transceivers in short-to-medium distance server and workstation installs. PXE boot support enables network-based OS deployment across large server fleets, while UEFI firmware compatibility ensures the card integrates cleanly into modern secure-boot environments without legacy BIOS workarounds.
Compatibility
Designed for installation in servers and workstations equipped with a PCIe x4 or wider slot (PCIe 2.0 or later). The TAA designation makes it procurement-eligible under the Trade Agreements Act for U.S. federal contracts and GSA Schedule purchases. PXE and UEFI support aligns with deployment toolchains including Windows Deployment Services (WDS), Microsoft SCCM, and similar network provisioning platforms. Verify host PCIe slot availability and OS driver support for the specific Allied Telesis 10GBase-T controller before ordering — driver packages should be confirmed against your target OS version.
Installation Notes
Install into an available PCIe x4 (or wider) slot with the system powered off and grounded. 10GBase-T at 10Gbps requires Cat6a cabling at distances up to 55m, or Cat7 up to 100m — standard Cat5e or Cat6 will negotiate down to 1Gbps. Confirm switch port capability matches the 10G link speed to avoid auto-negotiation fallback. UEFI Secure Boot environments may require enrolling the adapter's firmware signing certificate depending on platform policy.
