Netwerkkaart Supermicro AOC-STGS-I2T-O intern PCI Express Ethernet 10 Gbit/s bedraad

The Supermicro AOC-STGS-I2T-O is an internal PCI Express network card designed for wired Ethernet connections at up to 10 Gbps. Intended for installation in standard server or workstation PCIe slots, this dual-colour, low-profile compatible card provides a high-bandwidth interface suitable for virtualization hosts, storage networks and data centre uplinks. The card uses a PCI Express host interface and supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s, delivering a reliable wired connection for demanding network environments.

Advantages

The card offers a 10 Gbps Ethernet interface over a PCI Express connection, enabling low-latency, high-throughput network links for servers and workstations. Its wired connectivity supports stable, deterministic performance required for storage traffic and virtual machine networking. The physical design fits standard PCIe slots and the product comes in black, green and grey finishes to match typical server interiors.

Suitable for

• High-bandwidth LAN connections in small and large networks
• Virtualization hosts and hypervisor servers that require multi-gigabit network throughput
• Storage area networks (SAN) and NAS front-end connectivity
• Data centre uplinks and aggregation links
• Workstations and servers needing reliable wired 10 Gbps Ethernet

When it may not be suitable

This network card is not suitable for environments that require wireless connectivity or for systems without an available PCI Express slot. It is intended for wired Ethernet use and does not provide Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth functionality. Systems limited to lower speed interfaces or that require specialized offload features not supported by the card may need a different adapter.

Key specifications

• Connectivity technology: Wired Ethernet
• Host interface: PCI Express
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Interface type: Ethernet
• Product colour: Black, Green, Grey

How to use

Install the AOC-STGS-I2T-O into an available PCI Express slot on a powered-off server or workstation following standard ESD precautions. Secure the card to the chassis using the slot bracket and connect the Ethernet cable to the appropriate port. Power on the system and install or update the operating system drivers as required to enable the 10 Gbps interface. Configure network settings, VLANs or bonding according to your network architecture and verify link speed and stability through system tools or management software.

What to consider before purchase

• Available PCI Express slot and physical clearance inside the chassis
• Compatibility with the server or workstation operating system and drivers
• Required cabling and switch ports that support 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Cooling and airflow in the chassis to support high-throughput operation

Recommendations

For consistent 10 Gbps performance, use certified 10G Ethernet cables and ensure connected switches support the required speeds. Keep firmware and drivers up to date, and place the card in a PCIe slot that provides sufficient lanes for maximum throughput. Monitor link status and thermal conditions during sustained heavy traffic to maintain stability.
