❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What PCIe slot does this network card require?
This card requires a PCIe x4 slot (or larger x8/x16 slot). It supports Gen4 x1, Gen3 x4, x2, x1 bus widths for maximum compatibility with modern motherboards.
What cable type do I need for 10G speeds?
For full 10GBASE-T performance, use Cat 6A or Cat 7 Ethernet cables up to 100 meters. Cat 6 cables work for shorter distances (up to 55 meters).
Is this card compatible with my operating system?
Yes! Drivers are available for Windows 10/11, Windows Server 2022, RHEL/CentOS, Deepin, and Ubuntu. Download the driver from the link above for easy installation.
Can this card work at lower speeds like 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps?
Absolutely! The card auto-negotiates and supports 10G/5G/2.5G/1000M/100M speeds, making it backward compatible with your existing network infrastructure.
Does it include a low-profile bracket?
Yes, a low-profile bracket is included in the package, making it suitable for both standard ATX and small form factor (SFF) PC cases.
What is the power consumption?
Power consumption varies by speed: 2.5W at 10G, 1.5W at 5G, and only 1W at 1G. The card also supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to reduce power usage during low traffic periods.
Is this suitable for NAS or server applications?
Yes! This card is perfect for NAS, servers, workstations, and high-performance computing applications requiring fast network connectivity. It supports jumbo frames up to 16KB for improved throughput in data-intensive tasks.
Does it support virtualization environments?
Yes, the AQC113 chipset supports advanced features and is compatible with virtualization platforms including VMware ESXi, Proxmox VE, and Microsoft Hyper-V.
What PCIe slot does this network card require? Can I use it in an x16 slot?
This network card uses a PCIe x4 interface. It is compatible with and can be installed in PCIe x4, x8, or x16 slots on the motherboard.
What cable type do I need for 10G speeds? Can I use Cat5e?
For full 10GBASE-T performance up to 100 meters, Cat 6A or Cat 7 Ethernet cables are recommended. Cat 6 cables can achieve 10G speeds at shorter distances (up to 55 meters). Cat 5e is not recommended for stable 10G networking.
Can this card work at lower speeds like 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps? Is it good for soft routers?
Absolutely. The card supports Multi-Gigabit auto-negotiation (10G/5G/2.5G/1000M/100M), making it perfectly backward compatible with your existing network infrastructure and an ideal choice for high-bandwidth soft routers.
Is this card compatible with macOS / Hackintosh?
macOS compatibility depends on the variant you select. Please choose the "MacOS Compatible" option when placing your order if you need macOS support.
What operating systems are compatible with this card?
It is compatible with Microsoft® Windows® 10/11, Server 2022, and various Linux distributions including Ubuntu (16.04.3/18.04.5+), RHEL/CentOS (7.3 to 8.3), and Deepin (15.11/20/20.6).
Does it include a low-profile bracket for mini PCs?
Yes, a low-profile bracket is included in the package, making it perfectly suitable for both standard ATX cases, Small Form Factor (SFF) PC builds, and 2U slim servers.
Is this card suitable for NAS or Synology servers?
Yes! It delivers 10Gbps throughput and supports Jumbo Frames up to 16KB, which drastically reduces CPU overhead during data-intensive transfers. For Synology NAS (especially XPEnology), you may need to ensure the system includes or manually installs the appropriate Aquantia driver patch.
Does it support virtualization environments like PVE or VMware?
Yes, the AQC113 chipset supports advanced enterprise network features and is compatible with major virtualization platforms including VMware ESXi, Proxmox VE (PVE), and Microsoft Hyper-V.
Does it support advanced features like Wake-on-LAN or PXE boot?
Yes, it features PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) support for diskless network booting. It also complies with advanced network standards including MSI/MSI-X, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, and PTP/1588v2 time synchronization.
