HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 530T Adapter

Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 530T Adapter provides two 10 Gigabit RJ45 ports for high-speed copper network connections. The adapter includes 256 MB of integrated buffer memory and fits into a single x8 (Gen2) PCI Express slot. It requires CAT6 UTP or higher category twisted-pair cabling for proper operation.

Advantages

The dual 10Gb RJ45 ports allow simultaneous high-throughput connections over standard copper cabling. Integrated 256MB buffer memory helps manage traffic bursts and reduces packet loss under load. Compatibility with a single x8 (Gen2) PCIe slot simplifies installation in many servers and workstations. Using CAT6 UTP or better ensures reliable 10Gb performance over twisted-pair copper.

Key specifications

• Ports: 2 × 10Gb RJ45
• Buffer memory: 256 MB integrated
• PCI Express: requires one x8 (Gen2) slot
• Cabling: requires CAT6 UTP or better twisted-pair

How to use

Install the adapter into an available x8 (Gen2) PCI Express slot on a compatible system. Connect both RJ45 ports to the network using CAT6 UTP or higher twisted-pair cables. Ensure drivers and firmware recommended by the adapter manufacturer are installed and configured according to the operating system and network environment. Verify link speed and network settings after installation.

Рекомендации

For sustained 10Gb performance, use certified CAT6A or CAT7 cabling for longer runs and follow the system vendor’s guidelines for airflow and power to avoid thermal throttling.
