Under the hood, the LR-Link LREC6860BT NIC is based on Tehuti Networks TN4010 MAC, which is further paired with Marvells Alaska X 88X3310P 10 GbE transceiver. The card features a PCIe Gen 2 x4 interface as well as an RJ45 connector that supports 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G speeds using Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6A cabling. The card fully supports contemporary operating systems from Apple, Microsoft, and VMware as well as various Linux distributives. Therefore, the NIC is drop-in compatible with most computers that are in use today.

I'm hoping more manufacturers start making 10GBASE-T network cards. I'd get one for sure.

I'd rather have new Mother Boards with standardized Networking SFP Transceiver ports replace the existing Gigabit ports.

Then you can swap in a standardized 10GBASE-T transceiver instead of the default 1 Gbit transceiver.

You get the best of both worlds with mass production.
