Intel X710‑T4L
Intel Ethernet Network Adapter X710‑T4L Quad‑Port 10GBASE‑T RJ45 PCI‑E 3.0 x8 Server Network Interface Card
Product Overview
The Intel X710‑T4L is a high‑density quad‑port copper 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter powered by Intel X710‑TM4 controller chip. Four RJ45 ports support multi‑speed auto‑negotiation: 10GbE /5GbE /2.5GbE /1GbE /100Mb over standard twisted‑pair cabling. It delivers robust hardware offloads and comprehensive virtualization features for modern data‑center servers, virtualization hosts, NFV and storage environments. It works with existing Cat5e / Cat6 / Cat6A copper cables up to 100 meters, eliminating fiber‑transceiver dependency. Widely available as new‑surplus, refurbished and server‑pull used hardware in aftermarket market.
