## Summary description

The StarTech.com 1-Port 10G Ethernet Network Card features PCI Express interface and Intel X550-AT chip, providing wired connectivity with a maximum data transfer rate of 20000 Mbit/s. Ideal for high-performance networking needs, it ensures reliable and fast data transmission for demanding applications.

## Long description

The StarTech.com 1-Port 10G Ethernet PCI Express network card (model ST10000SPEXI) adds a single RJ45 port to a server or workstation to enable copper-based 10 Gigabit networking. Using the Intel X550-AT chipset and a PCIe x4 (or higher) slot, the card supports multi-speed operation — 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G and 100Mbps — and is compliant with 10GBase-T and NBASE-T specifications for backwards-compatible connectivity over existing cabling.
Advantages
The Intel X550-AT chipset delivers reliable, high-performance connectivity with hardware features such as Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-c), PXE network boot support, VLAN tagging, Auto-MDIX and support for jumbo frames up to 15K. The card provides up to 10Gbps in each direction (20Gbps total) and supports Audio-Video Bridging (AVB) for synchronized media streaming. Dual-profile brackets simplify installation in full-height and low-profile systems, and the product includes a two-year warranty and free lifetime technical support from StarTech.com.
Suitable for
Upgrading servers and workstations to 10G or multigigabit copper Ethernet
High-bandwidth applications such as virtualization hosts, file servers and media streaming
Environments that need backward-compatible performance over existing Cat5e/Cat6 wiring

How to use
Install the network card into an available PCIe x4 (or higher) slot on the server or desktop motherboard. Secure the appropriate bracket (full-size or low-profile) to match the computer chassis. Connect a compatible Ethernet cable: use Cat6a or better for full 10G performance and Cat5e for 5G/2.5G/1G/100Mbps operation. Install or update drivers for your operating system as required and configure network settings or VLANs through the host OS or virtualization management tools. For PXE boot, enable network boot in the system BIOS/UEFI and configure PXE settings as needed.
Usage recommendations
For reliable 10G performance, use Cat6a cabling and quality RJ45 connectors. To utilize 2.5G or 5G speeds without recabling, connect the card to NBASE-T compatible switches or access points over existing Cat5e wiring. Ensure the PCIe slot provides at least four lanes and check for driver updates from StarTech.com or the Intel chipset vendor.
