Key Architectural Features

Dual 10 Gbps Ports: Two independent SFP+ interfaces allow for link aggregation, redundancy, or separate network segments.
PCI Express 3.0 x8 Interface: Provides an 8‑lane, 8.0 GT/s data path, ensuring ample bandwidth between the host and the adapter.
Low‑Profile Form Factor: Measures 68.6 mm in width and 167.1 mm in depth, making it suitable for compact server chassis while maintaining full functionality.
Power Efficiency: Consumes only 4.5 W, reducing overall data‑center power draw.
Robust Certification: Meets FCC B, UL, CE, VCCI, BSMI, CTICK, and KCC standards for safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

Connectivity & Cabling Options

The adapter supports SFP+ Direct Attached Twin Axial (DTA) cabling up to 10 m, as well as standard fiber optic modules. Each port can be configured for:

10GBASE‑SR (Short Reach): Ideal for intra‑rack or short‑distance connections.
10GBASE‑LR (Long Reach): Enables up to 10 km over single‑mode fiber, suitable for inter‑data‑center links.

Software & Operating System Support

The X710-DA2 is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, ensuring flexibility across diverse infrastructures:
