QNAP QXG-10G2SF-X710 2-Port 10G SFP+ PCIe 3.0 Network Adapter Card

The QNAP QXG-10G2SF-X710 is a PCIe 3.0 network adapter card that adds two SFP+ ports to a workstation, server, or QNAP NAS, giving each system access to 10 gigabit or 1 gigabit speeds. Pair the card with your choice of separately purchased SFP+ optical transceivers or direct-attach copper cables and you can move large files or back up critical data without the wait times that come with standard Gigabit Ethernet.

Installation is straightforward. Slide the card into an available PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and pick the bracket that fits your chassis: a low-profile bracket comes pre-installed, while full-height and specialized options are in the box. This flexibility makes the card a natural fit for compact editing rigs, rackmount servers, and slim QNAP NAS enclosures.

Once in place, the adapter removes bandwidth bottlenecks that slow virtual machine migration, multi-user backups, or 4K media transfers. IT teams can allocate dedicated virtual network functions with SR-IOV to keep workloads isolated, and the support for IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation lets you bond both ports for higher aggregate throughput or failover protection when uptime matters.

Driver support spans QNAP NAS firmware, Windows 11, and popular Linux distributions such as Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, so one adapter model can serve a mixed environment. Whether you are building a home lab, expanding a small business server, or outfitting a post-production studio, the QXG-10G2SF-X710 delivers dependable 10 GbE performance without unnecessary complexity.
