NAS and PC

The QXG-10G2T can be installed in a QNAP NAS or Windows® PC.

Marvell® AQtion Controller AQC107

Highly energy efficient and cost-effective.

PCIe 3.0

PCIe Gen 3 x4 provides up to 32 Gbps transfer speeds.

Efficient cooling module

Keeps the QXG-10G2T cool and maintains high performance.

LED indicators

Monitor the real-time status of ports with handy LED indicators.

Supports NAS and PC OS

QNAP Network Expansion Cards support NAS operating systems (QTS and QuTS hero), Windows® 10 and Linux®, allowing you to maximize the performance potential of all your networked devices.

Gain up to 20 Gbps connectivity

By virtually bundling two 10 GbE ports with SMB multichannel or port trunking, you gain larger bandwidth for your QNAP NAS. Let's see which features are suitable for your usage scenarios:

• SMB Multichannel: Multiply the available bandwidth (20 Gbps) between NAS and directly-connected clients. Suited for personal use.
• Port trunking: Increases file access efficiency for simultaneous data access with multiple members. Recommended for users who deploy network switches in their IT infrastructure.

Build a 10 GbE network environment

Increase your IT performance and productivity by using the QXG-10G2T with QNAP's 10 GbE switches to build budget-friendly high-speed network environments.

Fully unleash your network with a companion switch

Build your ideal network environment to satisfy connectivity demands and streamline various storage applications.

Two 10GbE Ports with SR-IOV and iSCSI, Block-based, Supports Multiple Virtual Disk Modes

The dual port QXG-10G2T-X710 is a PCIe Gen 3 (compatible with PCIe Gen 2)10GbE network expansion card with an Intel Ethernet Controller X710 and supports up to five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M). By using Port Trunking, both ports can be combined to achieve up to 20Gbps transfer speeds for accelerating file sharing and intensive data transfer. With SR-IOV and iSCSI support, the QXG-10G2T-X710 greatly boosts network efficiency and is ideal for I/O-intensive and latency-sensitive virtualization applications and data centers.

Build a 10GbE Network Environment

The QXG-10G2T-X710 can be used with QNAP's 10GbE switches, such as the QSW-M2108-2C or QSW-1208-8C, for you to build a budget-friendly high-speed network environment.

The QXG-25G2SF-CX6 features an NVIDIA Mellanox® ConnectX®-6 Lx SmartNIC controller, supports PCIe Gen4 (backwards compatible with Gen3/ Gen2) and provides up to 25 Gbps transfer speeds (supports 10/25Gbps). By using Port Trunking to combine multiple ports, up to 50GbE can be achieved for accelerating file sharing and intensive data transfer. With SR-IOV support, the QXG-25G2SF-CX6 greatly boosts network efficiency and is ideal for I/O-intensive and latency-sensitive virtualization applications and data centers.

High-speed 25GbE Networking

The TS-h3088XU-RP supports 25GbE networking, and can be used with the QXG-25G2SF-CX6 to expand network connectivity. It can also be used with a 25GbE Switch to build a budget-friendly high-speed network environment.

Strengthen Your virtualization Environment with SR-IOV and RoCE

The QXG-25G2SF-CX6 supports SR-IOV, which can allocate bandwidth resources from a physical network card directly to VMs. It ensures reliable VM applications and reduced CPU overheads. The QXG-25G2SF-CX6 also supports RoCE, which can access a network directly in RAM to effectively reduce latency and enhance performance and efficiency for VMware® virtualization environments.

Ensure reliable data transfer with Forward Error Correction (FEC)

The QXG-25G2SF-CX6 supports FEC to overcome packet loss - a potentially common occurrence in fast, long-distance networks. FEC helps the receiving side detect and recover lost data to correct bit errors, thus ensuring reliable data transmission over "noisy" communication channels. With three FEC modes, you can use a suitable cable and switch to build an optimal network environment.

Supports Windows and Linux servers/workstations

Besides QNAP devices, the QXG-25G2SF-CX6 supports many platforms, including Windows® 10, Windows Server®, and Linux® (driver required) which allows you to attain optimal business performance for a wider range of system applications and services. The higher bandwidth density with reduced links helps reduce cabling footprint and operational costs.
