Cisco Intel X710 10Gigabit Ethernet Card – PCIe 3.0 x8, 2-Port SFP+ Optical Fiber 10GBase-X

Power your data center, server rooms, and high-performance computing environments with the Cisco Intel X710 10Gigabit Ethernet Card. Built on the Intel X710 Ethernet Controller and optimized for PCIe 3.0 x8 slots, this dual-port NIC delivers reliable, scalable 10 Gb/s connectivity over SFP+ optical transceivers. It’s designed to accelerate IT services, boost network throughput, and streamline management in dense, virtualization-heavy deployments. With outstanding throughput, low latency, and robust driver support across major operating systems, the Cisco Intel X710 NIC is a smart choice for enterprises seeking to double bandwidth without complicating their infrastructure.

  • High-performance dual-port 10GbE: Two SFP+ ports provide up to 10 gigabits per second per port, enabling fast uplinks, server-to-storage connectivity, and efficient network segmentation in virtualized environments.
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 interface: The card leverages PCI Express 3.0 x8 bandwidth to maximize throughput with minimal PCIe contention, ensuring smooth data flow for demanding workloads.
  • Optical fiber with 10GBase-X: SFP+ interfaces enable compatibility with fiber optic networks, supporting long-haul connections and high-density deployments while reducing electrical noise and EMI.
  • Enterprise-grade reliability and compatibility: Engineered for compatibility with Cisco and Intel ecosystems, with broad OS support (Windows and Linux) and proven stability in data centers, server rooms, and virtualized clusters.
  • Efficient, scalable performance for data centers: Designed to improve server density, accelerate IT services, and simplify network management through mature drivers, reliable performance, and robust offloads that optimize CPU utilization.

How to install Cisco Intel X710 10Gigabit Ethernet Card

Installing the Cisco Intel X710 10Gigabit Ethernet Card is straightforward and designed to be compatible with standard server and workstation configurations. Follow these steps to ensure a proper, optimized installation and immediate networking gains.

  • Power down the system completely and disconnect from all power sources. Ground yourself to avoid static discharge and protect sensitive components.
  • Open the chassis access panel and locate a compatible PCIe 3.0 x8 slot. The X710 card fits into PCIe 3.0 x8 or larger slots that support full-height or half-height form factors, depending on your server enclosure.
  • Remove the expansion slot cover if required and align the card’s edge connector with the PCIe slot. Gently press the card into place until the retention mechanism clicks or secures firmly.
  • Secure the card with the appropriate screw, ensuring it sits level and does not bend the motherboard or backplane connectors. Reconnect any necessary cables or riser components if used.
  • Reconnect power, boot the system, and enter the operating system. Install or update the appropriate drivers for the Intel X710 Ethernet Controller. Configure the two SFP+ ports according to your network design (auto-negotiation, speed, and duplex settings as required).
  • Connect your SFP+ fiber transceivers and fiber optic cabling. Verify link status in the operating system’s network manager and the NIC’s diagnostic tools. Test throughput with a suitable benchmark to confirm the expected 10 Gb/s per port performance.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What performance can I expect from the Cisco Intel X710 10Gigabit Ethernet Card? A: Each SFP+ port supports up to 10 Gb/s, offering a total potential bandwidth of up to 20 Gb/s across the two ports. Real-world throughput depends on the network, cables, transceivers, and server workload.
  • Q: What types of fiber transceivers are compatible? A: The card uses SFP+ interfaces for 10GBASE-X optics. Compatible transceivers include SFP+ modules designed for 10GBASE-X fiber, with fiber types such as multi-mode (MMF) or single-mode (SMF) depending on your deployment. Always verify transceiver compatibility with your switch or router and driver support.
  • Q: Is this card suitable for virtualization and dense data-center workloads? A: Yes. The Intel X710-based NIC is widely used in virtualized environments due to strong driver support, low CPU overhead, and robust offload features that improve VM networking performance and reduce host CPU utilization.
  • Q: Which operating systems are supported? A: The X710 family typically supports major Linux distributions (e.g., RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu) and Windows Server editions with vendor-provided drivers. Check the latest driver packages for your OS version to maximize performance and stability.
  • Q: How do I optimize performance for 10GBASE-X with SFP+? A: Use proper SFP+ transceivers, confirm auto-negotiation or fixed speed as required, and ensure the host’s PCIe lane allocation and bandwidth are adequate. For virtualization, enable features like large send offload (LSO) and adjust interrupt coalescing to balance CPU usage and throughput.

Not the sorry copper coated aluminum.
Size: 16 AWG-100 ft
The wire is 16 gauge plenty big for my system. Heck, the wires supplied with my stereo, copomonet speakers, and amplifiers are about 20 or 24 gauge. I'm quite sure the wire will be more than suffeceint. I, m installing a mono sub amplifier a four-way amplifier to the sub amp outputs and the front of lines of the stereo. I'm gonna be pushing 20 speakers all except the sub woofer only pushing 100 watts a channel and the sub will push 150 watts. That makes 21 altogether. Not much just good clean sound. I've been working on the project going on 5 years now. Been bargain hunting, besides the work I've only got about $650 in the project. Can't wait to get it completed here around the end of July. Hopefully, it will sound great didn't want to pay anyone. Seen too many "professional" jobs that were subpar. I've seen some nightmares. Figured if l did the job then who could I blame at least I can only blame myself and didn't pay $1,000 for it. 😁🤔

It's a good one, buy it.
Size: 16 AWG-100 ft
Actual 5 stars! OFC, copper stranded wire, takes solder nicely when tinned, stiff and pliable enough to stay bent. covering melts INTO wire as expected. I was hoping for a good deal and got one.

Not bad for money. But the spot lens is def a narrow spot
Color: 4.5inch Spot Light, Color: 4.5inch Spot Light
I did a direct comparison to BD squadron pro with spot lens. Pic one is 1 squadron spot lens, pic two is 1 auxbeam 4.5 Not a pair. Only one light each. Then the video is 2 squadron pro one with spot lenses the other with combo lens. Then both auxbeam 4.5. I wouldn’t buy the spot lens unless you have other lights or just trying to light a narrow beam a long ways. The fill light is not good. I say the brackets and the finish is on par with BD, not as deep as the XL80 but similar in size. The BD XL pro is def brighter with better fill even with spot lenses. I would say 4 of these would match the XL Pro at half the money if you have the space for four of them. But even 4 don’t match the XL80’s. But for 160 bucks it’s a good solid light.
