Introduction

GE10-PCIE4XG202P is 10G/ 5G/ 2.5G/ 1000BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX Ethernet (POE+) to PCI Express x4 Gen 2 Host Card .

Designed to support high-volume enterprise wireless local area network (WLAN) OEM systems requiring multi-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, such as 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless access points, the GE10-PCIE4XG202P adapter reference design offers a low-power, small form factor and low cost solution enabling pervasive NBASE-T™ connectivity. NBASE-T™ technology boosts the speed of broadly deployed Cat5e twisted pair copper cabling up to 100 meters in length well beyond the designed limits of 1Gbps.

The GE10-PCIE4XG202P design supports auto-negotiation allowing the NBASE-T™ solution to optimally select the best speed: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), 5 Gigabit Ethernet (5GbE), 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE), 1Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) or 100 Megabit Ethernet (100MbE) over Cat5e/Cat6 or better cabling.
