ASUS XG-C100C 10G Network Adapter
Single-port 10GBASE-T PCIe adapter for multigigabit copper. Confirm exact product label and revision before applying specifications.
IDENTIFICATION: Confirm manufacturer PID, hardware revision, device ID or module suffix. Nominal standards/link rates are not measurements of payload performance.
Exact specifications and compatibility
| Dedicated subcategory | Ethernet adapters |
|---|---|
| Exact product/model | ASUS XG-C100C 10G Network Adapter |
| Bus, ports and physical interface | PCIe 3.0 x4; one RJ-45 port; low-profile bracket included in supported packages. |
| PHY, radio or protocol | Marvell/Aquantia AQC107 controller; auto-negotiates 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100MBASE-T as supported by peer and driver. |
| Nominal rate (not measured) | Up to 10Gb/s nominal over copper; not an observed application transfer rate. |
| Measured throughput | No measured benchmark is claimed for a physical specimen. A valid result must record host/peer, link partner, media/cable, driver/firmware, traffic pattern, test tool and duration. |
| Drivers, OS and firmware | ASUS support provides Windows drivers; Linux support is kernel/atlantic-driver dependent. Check exact device ID and driver release. |
| Compatibility | PCIe x4 electrical slot, airflow around heatsink, and Cat 6A cabling for full 100m 10GbE; Cat 5e may negotiate lower NBASE-T rates. |
| Variant warning | XG-C100C original adapter differs from later XG-C100C V2 and OEM AQC107 cards; inspect revision and VID:PID before firmware/driver choice. |
