Lenovo ThinkSystem Intel X550-T2 10GBASE-T 2-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter

A pair of 10GBASE-T ports on an Intel X550 controller is what the Lenovo ThinkSystem Intel X550-T2 10GBASE-T 2-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter, part number 00MM860, offers. Both ports use RJ45 connectors at 10GbE and the card installs in a PCIe slot.

This is a practical card for sites that want 10GbE without moving to fiber. Twisted-pair cabling carries the link, and a switch with 10GBase-T ports is the other half of the connection. With two ports you can set up a redundant pair or split data and management traffic.

The T2 in the name marks two copper ports. The single-port version in the same family has a different part number, so confirm the count against your cabling plan.

Intel controllers are broadly supported by operating systems and hypervisors, which keeps driver planning simple when you replace a card in a server that already runs an Intel stack.

The 00MM860 is available as a refurbished or used card. Refurbished units carry a warranty choice of 1 year or 3 years, and used units carry 90 days. No new offer is listed. Send your quantity and server model to request pricing.
