Intel XL710 Quad Port 10G SFP+ Network Interface Card Description
Our EDGEOPTIC 10G-NIC-XL710-4O is a multi-vendor compatible quad-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet network interface card designed for high-density server connectivity requiring multiple 10G interfaces. This PCIe adapter features the Intel XL710 controller silicon, delivering exceptional throughput with four SFP+ ports operating at 10GbE or 1GbE speeds per port.
The 10G-NIC-XL710-4O utilizes a PCIe v3.0 x8 bus interface with 8GT/s transfer rate, ensuring adequate bandwidth for aggregated 10G traffic across all four ports. This adapter supports advanced network virtualization technologies including SR-IOV with 128 virtual functions, VMDq with 64 pools, VLAN, VXLAN, NVGRE, and GENEVE encapsulation protocols. These capabilities make it ideal for virtualized environments and software-defined networking implementations.
The network interface card incorporates comprehensive protocol support compliant with IEEE 802.3ae for 10GBASE Ethernet, IEEE 802.3x flow control, IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation, and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging. Data center bridging features include IEEE 802.1Qaz ETS and IEEE 802.1Qbb PFC for lossless Ethernet operation. IEEE 1588 PTP support enables precise time synchronization for latency-sensitive applications.
Storage connectivity is provided through iSCSI and NFS support, enabling storage over Ethernet configurations. The adapter supports jumbo frames for improved throughput efficiency and PXE boot for network-based system deployment. Interconnection distance depends on the SFP+ transceiver modules used.
The 10G-NIC-XL710-4O operates within 0°C to 55°C temperature range with airflow requirement of 150 LFM minimum. Physical dimensions measure 146mm x 69mm, and the card ships with a low-profile bracket attached with standard bracket included in packaging.
LED status indicators provide visual confirmation of link status and activity, with color coding for speed identification where green indicates 10 Gbps and yellow indicates 1 Gbps operation. Maximum power consumption is 7.4W operating on 3.3V and 12V supply rails.
Operating system support includes Windows Server 2012/2016/2019/2022, Windows 10/11, Linux distributions including RHEL, SLES, and Ubuntu, VMware ESXi, and FreeBSD. Management features include PXE Boot, iSCSI Boot, SNMP, RMON, LLDP, DCBX, and Intel PROSet Utility.
Our quad-port 10G SFP+ network interface card is CE/FCC/RoHS certified. Because our focus is providing top quality service, we perform serious quality checks before delivery including functional testing, port isolation verification, firmware validation, and multi-vendor compatibility testing.
