Microconnect MC-PCIE-X550 Κάρτα δικτύου Εσωτερική Ethernet 10000 Mbit/s

The Microconnect MC-PCIE-X550 is an internal PCI Express network card built around the Intel X550 10G controller to provide reliable high-speed wired connectivity. It features dual 10Gbps RJ45 ports and supports IEEE 802.3bz standards, enabling fast data transfers up to 10000 Mbit/s for servers, workstations and data center systems. The card comes in a black finish and installs into a standard PCIe x4 slot.

Advantages

The network card delivers proven Intel X550 performance with virtualization-friendly features and stable 10GbE throughput. Dual RJ45 ports allow link aggregation or separate network segments, while PCI Express x4 interface ensures efficient host communication. Its compatibility with standard Ethernet protocols makes it suitable for integration into existing wired infrastructures.

How to use

Install the card into an available PCIe x4 (or larger) slot on a powered-off computer, secure it to the chassis, and connect twisted-pair Cat6a/ Cat6 cables to the RJ45 ports. Power on the system and install the appropriate drivers for the Intel X550 controller supplied by the operating system or from the MicroConnect/Intel support site. Configure IP addressing, link aggregation or VLANs as needed in the host OS or network management tools.

Recommendations

Use shielded Cat6a or better cabling for full 10Gbps reach and reduced interference; ensure the system BIOS and OS drivers are up to date for optimal Intel X550 performance. For data center deployments, consider using link aggregation or separate VLANs to balance traffic across the dual ports.
