## Summary description

Internal 1-port StarTech PCIe network adapter (model ST10GSPEXNB2) provides up to 10 Gbps wired Ethernet connectivity via 10GBASE-T and NBASE-T standards. Fits into a PCIe slot and supports jumbo frames for improved throughput and reduced CPU overhead. Designed for PCs and servers requiring high-speed LAN access for data transfer, virtualization, backup, and media streaming.

## Long description

The StarTech ST10GSPEXNB2 is an internal 1-port 10Gbps PCIe network adapter that brings multi-gig wired Ethernet connectivity to desktop PCs and servers. Using a Marvell AQC113CS controller, it supports 10GBASE-T and NBASE-T standards and delivers flexible link speeds (10/5/2.5/1 Gbps and 100/10 Mbps) to match modern 10GbE networks as well as legacy infrastructure. The card fits into a PCI Express x2 (PCIe 3.0/4.0 or higher) expansion slot and includes both standard and low-profile brackets for versatile system installation.
Advantages
This NIC provides higher network throughput and lower CPU overhead for data-intensive tasks by supporting full-duplex 10 Gbps operation and jumbo frames (up to 16K). NBASE-T compatibility allows use of existing Cat5e/Cat6 copper cabling for multi-gig links up to practical distances, while backward speed support ensures interoperability with older switches and endpoints. Additional features like AVB support, VLAN tagging, PXE boot, and secure boot improve integration into professional and server environments.
Suitable for
High-speed file transfer and large dataset backups
Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged systems
Media editing and high-definition media streaming
Server and workstation network upgrades using existing copper cabling
Environments requiring PXE boot or VLAN segmentation
Key specifications
Interface: PCI Express x2 (compatible with PCIe 3.0/4.0 or higher)
Port count: 1 internal RJ45 10GbE port
Supported speeds: 10 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps, 10 Mbps
Physical media: Copper (10GBASE-T / NBASE-T) over Cat6/Cat5e cabling
Controller: Marvell AQC113CS
Jumbo frame support: up to 16K bytes
Operating systems: Compatible with Windows, Windows Server, and Linux
Advanced features: AVB, VLAN tagging, full-duplex, secure boot, PXE
Included accessories: Standard-profile and low-profile brackets
How to use
Power down the system and install the ST10GSPEXNB2 into an available PCIe x2 (or larger) slot following the system manufacturer's safety instructions. Secure the bracket, attach a Cat6 or better Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port, and connect the other end to a compatible switch or router. Power on the host and install the appropriate drivers for your operating system; the card supports standard drivers for Windows, Windows Server, and many Linux distributions. Configure link speed, VLANs, jumbo frames, and PXE settings in the host OS or system BIOS as required for your network environment.
Usage recommendations
For optimal 10 Gbps performance use Cat6A or better cabling and ensure switch ports support 10GBASE-T. When using existing Cat5e, test link stability and use NBASE-T speeds if full 10 Gbps is not achievable. Enable jumbo frames and offload features only if supported by the rest of the network to avoid fragmentation or compatibility issues. Keep firmware and drivers up to date for best interoperability and security.
