This PCIe host card is based on the Aquantia AQtion AQC107s controller, a 5-speed, 10G PCI Express to Ethernet controller that can easily handle 10 Gbps line-rate performance while delivering maximum flexibility. It delivers up to 10 Gbps network connectivity speed through 100m of Cat 6a cabling or up to 5Gbps on legacy Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling.
This card supports auto-negotiation allowing the NBASE-T solution to optimally select the best speed: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), 5 Gigabit Ethernet (5GbE), 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE), 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) or 100 Megabit Ethernet (100MbE) over Cat5e/Cat6 or better cabling.

    Making way for Better Speeds

    I am upgrading my internet to a 10GB optical connection and this card is a piece of the puzzle. The card its self works fine in its own right, but the big show comes later when this "new" company, Sonic gets their hardware in place. This is going to Rock.

    I would recommend this product to a friend!

    Bought for future-proofing.

    So, I bought this for future-proofing purposes, and I’ve certified that it works, but I don’t actually have 10Gb Ethernet in my house yet. ($1,000 for a switch?? Get out of here!!) so I assume it functions well at 10Gb, but I don’t actually know.

    I would recommend this product to a friend!
