Chapter 1: Introduction
This card is a Multi-Gigabit network adapter that’s runs on a high speed PCIe x4 host bus interface.
This card hosts the Tehuti’s new 3rd generation TN4010 controller and optimized 10 Gigabit Ethernet MAC designed for
low-power, low-cost, single-port connectivity required by Application Servers and Workstations. The TN4010 MAC is
paired with Marvell® Alaska® 88X3310P transceiver, a low-power, high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet PHY, to
enable five-speed connectivity (10GBase-T, 5GBase-T 2.5GBase-T 1000Base-T, and 100Base-TX) over low-cost
standard CAT-6a Ethernet cabling, up to 100m (Cat-5e and CAT-6 are supported compliant to Link Segment
specifications). This combination creates a new gateway to cost-conscious consumer applications, as well as to
intensive data environments.
