Intel I210T1 Gigabit Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s Network Interface Card

Network-intensive tasks can grind to a halt when your server’s connection is slow or unreliable. The Intel I210T1 Gigabit Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s Network Interface Card gives you a rock-solid, wired 1 Gbps link, perfect for data-centre servers, virtual machines and any PC that needs fast, low-latency Ethernet. It plugs into a PCI-Express 2.1 x1 slot and turns a simple RJ-45 port into a high-performance gateway for your workloads.

Why Choose Intel Network Card

With this card you’ll notice instantly how smooth data transfers become. The low-latency iWARP/RDMA engine cuts the time it takes for packets to move between memory and the network, while Intel® Data Direct I/O lets the adapter talk straight to the CPU cache, shaving off precious cycles. The result is a quieter, cooler system that delivers consistent bandwidth without the usual bottlenecks, letting you focus on what matters most - getting work done.

Benefits of Intel Network Card

• Faster transfers: Enjoy full-duplex 1 Gbps speeds that reduce waiting time for large file moves.
• Lower power use: Intel® Ethernet Power Management trims idle consumption, saving electricity bills.
• Virtualisation ready: SR-IOV and VMDq let multiple virtual machines share the card without performance loss.
• Reliable connection: Auto-negotiation and flow control keep the link stable even under heavy load.
• Future-proof: Jumbo-frame support means you can handle larger packets as your network evolves.

Key Features of a 1Gbps Network Card
