Lenovo ThinkSystem D2 10Gb 8-Port EIOM Base-T RJ45 Adapter | Ethernet

Scale server connectivity with an 8-port 10 GbE Base-T adapter designed for dense copper networking. The ThinkSystem D2 layout gives infrastructure teams a practical way to add high-bandwidth Ethernet where port count and cabling simplicity matter as much as throughput. Base-T RJ45 support makes this adapter a strong fit for environments that already run copper switching and structured cabling. It reduces the need to redesign the network layer while still raising available bandwidth for virtualization clusters, storage-adjacent workloads, and east-west traffic patterns that can quickly saturate slower links. The value here is density. Eight ports in a single adapter can simplify server design, reduce the number of discrete network components, and help standardize connectivity across a rack or pod. For buyers comparing lower-port-count options, this model earns its place by combining 10 GbE speed with the port density needed in demanding server deployments.
