Product Features
Connectivity You Can Count On

The Intel® PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter— part of the second-generation 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) adapters from Intel—represents the first 10GbE-over-copper 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.

10GBASE-CX4 Applications and Advantages

The Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter is an immediate, lower-cost solution for a wide range of data-center applications, including:
• High-performance computing clusters
• Consolidated LAN and iSCSI traffic
• Database link to backup storage and NAS
• Digital editing, scientific and commercial simulation, and collaboration
• Scaled-up consolidated servers
