10GbE BASE-T Card
Introduction 1
1. Introduction
The ADLINK 10GbE BASE-T Card is a 10GbE copper network adapter card that delivers fast 10Gbps network
access. It converts up to four 10GBASE-KR interfaces & related sideband signals to four 10GbE copper interfaces
(10GBASE-T signals) through 10GbE copper PHY.
The 10GbE BASE-T Card can only be used on products that are PICMG COM Express Type 7 (COM.0 Rev. 3.0)
compliant.
By using the 10GbE BASE-T Card with an Express-BASE7 reference carrier board and COM Express Type7
module (with 10GbE controller supporting copper mode), customers can quickly emulate the functionality of their
end product for software development and hardware verification. Applications include entry level cloud storage
platforms and communications servers.
