QNAP QXG-10G1T 10Gigabit Ethernet Card

The QNAP QXG-10G1T 10Gigabit Ethernet Card is engineered to elevate your networking with blazing-fast transfer speeds, rock-solid reliability, and flexible deployment across servers, workstations, and NAS environments. Built around a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, this single-port 10GBASE-T NIC unlocks multi-gig and 10GbE performance without overhaul of your existing copper infrastructure. Whether you’re moving huge data sets, streaming high-resolution content, running virtual machines, or performing backups in real time, the QXG-10G1T delivers steady throughput, low latency, and dependable connectivity that scale with your needs.

  • Unleash 10 Gigabit performance — Experience dramatic improvements in data transfer, backups, editing workflows, and virtualization with sustained 10GbE speeds. The QXG-10G1T enables rapid file transfers, faster server-to-storage communication, and responsive multi-user access to NAS-hosted media libraries. With 10GBASE-T, you gain ample headroom for large file moves, live collaboration on high-resolution assets, and smooth backups that were previously bottlenecked by slower gigabit networks.
  • Single-port design on PCIe 3.0 x4 — A compact PCIe 3.0 x4 add-in card that slots into a wide range of systems, including PCs, workstations, servers, and NAS devices. The x4 interface provides ample bandwidth to the NIC, ensuring the 10G connection remains dedicated to your workloads. Its streamlined profile and power-efficient design help minimize heat while maximizing throughput in sustained transfers, making it ideal for dense data centers and home labs alike.
  • 10GBASE-T with backward compatibility — The card uses a standard RJ-45 port for 10G Ethernet, letting you leverage existing Cat6a (or better) cabling. It negotiates down to 2.5G/5G/1G/100Mbps as your network supports, providing a flexible upgrade path that protects your current investments while still delivering full 10GbE when connected to compatible switches, servers, or NAS units.
  • Optimized for QNAP environments — While universally compatible, the QXG-10G1T is designed to shine in QNAP NAS and server ecosystems. It integrates smoothly with QNAP storage and networking features, enabling enhanced data throughput for backups, cloud sync, and media libraries. When deployed in a QNAP environment, users can leverage NIC teaming, 10GbE links, and optimized network settings to reduce contention and increase overall throughput under load.
  • Easy installation and reliable operation — The QXG-10G1T is built for straightforward installation in compatible systems. Simply insert it into an available PCIe slot, secure the bracket, connect a Cat6a (or better) cable, and power up. Drivers from QNAP or your operating system vendor streamline setup, allowing you to enable 10GbE networking quickly and reliably. The card is designed for stable operation under heavy workloads, making it a dependable backbone for media studios, data centers, and busy office networks.
