The Intel X550T2 is a dual port Ethernet adapter that brings 10 Gigabit performance to servers and workstations that already use copper cabling. By pairing two 10 GbE RJ45 ports with a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, it upgrades throughput and reduces latency without forcing a costly overhaul of the existing network.
Because the card works with standard CAT 6 and CAT 6a cables, you can keep the wiring that is already run through racks and walls. Auto negotiation allows each port to connect at either 1 GbE or 10 GbE, so you can move to higher speeds at your own pace while remaining compatible with legacy switches and segmented networks.
In a data center, the adapter fits comfortably in Top of Rack and End of Row architectures. Its low-latency design and advanced virtualization features support hypervisors such as VMware, Windows Server, and Linux, making it a solid choice for hosts that run many virtual machines. Cloud deployments, IP storage arrays, and media servers that stream high-bandwidth content also benefit from the consistent throughput it delivers.
Installation is straightforward. Both low-profile and full-height brackets are included, so the same card can slip into compact 1U blades or full-size tower cases. Drivers are available for Windows, Linux, VMware, and FreeBSD, giving IT teams room to standardize across mixed operating environments.
Whether you are refreshing an aging rack, expanding capacity for virtual workloads, or building a new storage cluster, the Intel X550T2 offers a reliable path to 10 GbE speeds without disruptive cabling changes.
