Introduction

DGEAP2X-PCIE8XG302 is Dual 10G/ 5G/ 2.5G/ 1000BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX Ethernet (POE+) & Two PCIe x2 to PCI Express x8 Gen 3 Host Card.

DGEAP2X-PCIE8XG302 provides a PCIe Gen 3 expansion connector (PCIE1) to support more PCIe Add-in cards installation.
PCIE1 connector supports two PCIe x2 PORTs (PORT1 & PORT2).

DGEAP2X-PCIE8XG302 supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet in compliance with the IEEE 802.3an standard, as well as 5 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet speeds over standard Cat 5e and Cat 6 copper cables. Compliant to the IEEE 802.3bz standard ratified in September 2016, the DGEAP2X-PCIE8XG301 is also backwards-compatible with legacy 1000BASE-T Ethernet.

The DGEAP2X-PCIE8XG301 is dual-chip, dual-port, high-performance PCIe 3.0 Multi-Gig 10GBASE-T/ 5GBASE-T/ 2.5GBASE-T/ 1000BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX Ethernet adapter. It incorporates Aquantia’s AQrate PHY technology to deliver 1 GbE and 2.5 GbE network connectivity speeds over 100 m with zero change required for legacy cabling. Speeds ranging from 5 GbE to 100 M are supported by Cat 5e cabling while 10GbE requires a minimum of Cat6 with Cat 6a running up to 100 m.

DGEAP2X-PCIE8XG301 is designed with Two key components.

  • 16-Lane, 5-Port PCI Express Gen 3 Switch.
  • PCI Express to 10G/ 5G/ 2.5G/ 1000BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX Single Chip Host Controller
