Description
Product Overview of Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter
The X540T1BLK Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540-T1 is a high-performance Ethernet adapter that is designed for use in high-bandwidth data centers, enterprise networks, and other data-intensive applications. The adapter is designed to provide a high-speed and reliable network connection for servers and other network devices. It is a single port adapter that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network speeds.
In this article, we will discuss in detail the features and benefits of the X540T1BLK Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540-T1.
10 Gigabit Ethernet Single Port
The X540T1BLK Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540-T1 is a single port adapter that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network speeds. This means that it can provide up to 10 times faster network speeds than traditional Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) adapters. With a 10 GbE network, you can transfer large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.
The adapter is compatible with both copper and fiber optic cables, which makes it a versatile solution for various network environments. It supports both Cat 6a and Cat 7 twisted-pair copper cables with distances of up to 100 meters. It also supports fiber optic cables with distances of up to 10 kilometers.
Intel Ethernet Controller X540
The X540T1BLK Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540-T1 is based on the Intel Ethernet Controller X540. This controller is designed to provide a high level of performance, reliability, and scalability. It supports advanced features such as virtualization, Quality of Service (QoS), and energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE).
The Intel Ethernet Controller X540 also supports advanced network offloading capabilities, which can help to reduce CPU utilization and improve overall system performance. The offloading capabilities include TCP/IP checksum offload, TCP/IP segmentation offload, and Receive Side Scaling (RSS).
Converged Network Adapter
The X540T1BLK Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540-T1 is a converged network adapter (CNA). This means that it is designed to support multiple network protocols over a single network interface. The adapter supports Ethernet, iSCSI, and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) protocols.
The use of a converged network adapter can help to reduce the number of network adapters required in a system. This can help to reduce costs and simplify network management. It can also help to improve overall system performance by reducing the amount of network traffic on the system bus.
Low Power Consumption
The X540T1BLK Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540-T1 is designed to be energy-efficient. It supports energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE), which can help to reduce power consumption during periods of low network activity. The adapter can also be configured to operate in a low power state when not in use.
The use of energy-efficient features can help to reduce the overall power consumption of a system. This can help to reduce energy costs and reduce the carbon footprint of the system.
