eiRa AQC107 10GbE Ethernet Card Chipset Installation Guide
Introduction
This PCI Express AQC107 10GbE Ethernet card is a high-performance, multi-
gigabit
Ethernet card that supports 10GBASE-T/5GBASE-T/2.5GBASE-T/1000BASE-T/
100BASE-T, with a PCI Express Gen3x4 or Gen2x4, the AQtion Ethernet controller
easily handles the 10GbE Line-rate performance. The AQC107 incorporates
Aquantia’s AQrate® PHY technology which delivers 10GbE network connectivity
speed through Cat 6a and delivers 5 GbE and 2.5 GbE network connectivity speed
through 100 meters of Cat 5e or better cabling enabling higher data rates with
zero change to legacy cabling.
