Netwerkkaart Synology E10G18-T1 intern Ethernet 10000 Mbit/s

The Synology E10G18-T1 is an internal PCI Express network card that delivers up to 10 Gbit/s wired Ethernet connectivity. Equipped with an RJ-45 port and compliant with IEEE 802.3an/bz and 802.3x standards, the card supports multi-gigabit auto-negotiation and backward compatibility with 5Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 1Gbps and 100Mbps links to work with existing copper cabling and network equipment.

Advantages

The E10G18-T1 provides a cost-effective upgrade path to 10GbE for small businesses and home users by enabling higher throughput without replacing existing RJ-45 infrastructure. It supports auto-negotiation across multiple speeds for flexible deployment and conforms to common Ethernet standards for reliable operation. Synology backs the card with a five-year limited warranty for long-term use.

How to use

Install the Synology E10G18-T1 into an available PCI Express slot on a compatible host system, secure the card, and connect a Cat5e/Cat6 or higher-rated RJ-45 cable to the port. After powering on, ensure the system firmware and operating system recognize the card and install any required drivers. Configure link speed and network settings in the host OS or network management tools as needed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance at 10GbE speeds, use Cat6a or better cabling and ensure connected switches or routers support 10GBASE-T. When using existing cabling, verify cable rating and length to prevent speed drops; use auto-negotiation if mixed-speed devices are present.
