Netwerkkaart PLANET ENW-9803 intern Ethernet 10000 Mbit/s

The PLANET ENW-9803 is an internal 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express network card that delivers multi-rate copper connectivity up to 10 Gbit/s using an integrated Marvell 88X3310P NBASE-T PHY. It supports auto-negotiation across 10GbE, 5GbE, 2.5GbE, 1GbE and 100MbE over Cat5e/Cat6 or better cabling, IEEE 802.3 Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), and standard PCI Express host interface for use in servers, workstations and PCs.

Advantages

The ENW-9803 provides cost-effective 10G copper connectivity with low power consumption and a single-port design. Compared with CX4 or SFP+ solutions, it uses RJ45 and standard Cat6a/Cat7 cabling to reach up to 100 meters, avoiding the additional cost of SFP+ transceivers while supporting flexible multi-rate operation. The adapter supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, 9K jumbo frames and IEEE 802.3 flow control to optimize throughput and reduce packet loss.

Suitable for

• Application servers and high-end workstations requiring higher bandwidth
• Personal computers migrating from 1GbE to 10GbE for data-intensive tasks
• Low- to mid-range network appliances needing a single-port 10G copper NIC

How to use

Install the ENW-9803 into an available PCI Express slot on a compatible motherboard, secure the card in the chassis and connect the network via an RJ45 cable to a switch or router that supports the desired link speed. Ensure the system BIOS and operating system recognize the PCIe device and install the appropriate drivers for your operating system (Windows Server, Linux, VMware). After driver installation, configure network settings and VLANs as required through the OS network management tools.

Recommendations

Use Cat6a or Cat7 cabling to achieve full 10G reach up to 100 meters. For mixed-speed environments, rely on the adapter's auto-negotiation to select optimal link speed. Keep drivers up to date and enable jumbo frames and flow control if your network and applications benefit from larger MTU and lossless transfers.
