Akasa, a leading provider of computer hardware and PC accessories, has launched a 10 Gigabit PCIe Network Interface Card (NIC), designed to upgrade desktops, workstations, servers and embedded systems to multi-gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Powered by the Realtek RTL8127AT chipset and featuring a PCIe 3.0 x2 interface, the card supports six auto-negotiating speed tiers from 10 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps to 10 Mbps, while fitting PCIe x4, x8 and x16 slots and remaining compatible with x2 slots where present on server and workstation boards.

Compliant with IEEE 802.3bz (2.5GBASE-T/5GBASE-T) and IEEE 802.3an (10GBASE-T), the card incorporates built-in IEEE 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet) support, which reduces power consumption during low-traffic periods without interrupting network availability. Additional features including Wake-on-LAN (WoL) and jumbo frame support up to 16K further extend operational efficiency, enabling remote power management and reducing CPU overhead on large data transfers.
