Whether you're laying down some hypnotic drum tracks in a separate room or rocking a memorable live performance as a front-of-house mixing engineer, the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Adapter is ready to help you make sweet music. Its Audio Video Bridging (IEEE 802.1Qav, AVB) readiness can send and receive the highest quality audio and video media streams in real time to multiple destinations over existing network cables.

Transferring large amounts of data or high I/O operations can slow things down, but this network adapter is ready to handle up to 16KB jumbo frames for a dramatic reduction in network transactions and less bandwidth use. Additionally, advanced IP, TCP, UDPO checksum, and Large Send offload processes ensure your computer's optimum performance when large file transfers or high I/O operations occur.

There's more to a network than moving data fast. It needs to perform reliably and cost-effectively as well. With built-in Quality of Service (QoS) technology, this 10G card lets you work fully confident your priority applications and processes will perform at their best even during limited network capacity periods. And to keep your computer or NAS running efficiently cool, this card supports Energy-Efficient Ethernet low bus power standards.

Enjoy 10 Gb/s transfers over up to 328' Cat 7 or Cat 6a cables. Or use your existing Cat 6 or Cat 5e cable for up to 5 Gb/s speeds.

Q: 2. Does this PCIe-to-USB card work with Linux?

A: The SIIG 4-Port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed PCIe Adapter Card is only Windows compatible.

Q: 3. Will this work on the ASRock X99 Extreme4 ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard?

A: Yes, this will work with that model of motherboard.

Q: 4. Will TX401 PCIe Nic card work in an HP Z2 Tower? BH #HEZ2G9T6H907.

A: Yes, the TP-Link TX401 10G Ethernet PCIe Adapter is compatible.

Q: 5. Will it function within a 1817+?

A: The Synology E10G21-F2 Dual Port 10G SFP+ PCIe 3.0 Ethernet Adapter BH #SYE10G21F2 is not designed to with with an 1817+.

Q: 6. Which ASMedia chip does this card use?

A: The manufacturer has not specified in the documentation, however the chip is similar, if not newer than the ASMedia ASM2142.

Q: 7. Will this work with an early 2009 Mac Pro (4,1)?

A: Yes, it is compatible. For more specs about your Mac you can check out: EveryMac https://everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-quad-core-2.66-early-2009-nehalem-specs.html

Q: 8. Is this device compatible with PCIE 2.0 slots?

A: The performance should be the same if you are not sending data to all four ports simultaneously. PCIe 2.0x4 = 2000 MB/s should allow near full performance from two ports simultaneously. If the card uses the ASM2142 (PCIe 3.0x2), then a single USB port can be 20% faster than a card that uses the ASM1142 (PCIe 2.0x2). The PCIe switch can convert the two PCIe 3.0x2 USB controllers to PCIe 2.0x4.

Q: 9. Is it compatible with the QNAP TS-464 BH #QNTS4648GUS ?

A: The TP-Link TX401 10G Ethernet PCIe Adapter has a PCIe x4 interface, so it will not be compatible with the QNAP TS-464, which only has a PCIe x2 expansion slot.

Q: 10. Does this card need an addtional plug in power cable or does it draw its PCI connector slot?Will this card work with a Windows 10, 64 bit machine?

A: The card requires the use of one SATA power cable from your power supply and should work with windows 10 64bit with no issues.
