The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter is a dual-port 10GBASE-T adapter, featuring the Intel X540 10Gb Ethernet solution in a PCIe 2.1 compliant form factor designed for HPE ProLiant Gen8 rack and tower servers. The HPE 561T adapter delivers full line-rate performance across all, utilizing CAT 6A UTP cabling (or better) with distances up to 100 meters. Providing high performance Ethernet connectivity, it is ideal for virtual server and cloud computing environments. It supports enterprise class features (VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding), Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames, PXE boot) and virtualization features (VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ). The adapter's support for HPE Sea of Sensors 3D Technology enhances server performance by reducing energy consumption and expense.
