Akasa has launched a 10‑Gigabit PCIe Network Interface Card aimed at desktops, servers and embedded platforms. Powered by the Realtek RTL8127AT chipset and a PCIe 3.0 x2 bus, the card negotiates speeds from 10 Gbps down to 10 Mbps and plugs into x4, x8, x16 or x2 slots. Its single RJ45 jack displays activity and speed LEDs.

The module adheres to IEEE 802.3bz and 802.3an standards, adding Energy‑Efficient Ethernet support that cuts power when traffic is low. Features such as Wake‑on‑LAN and 16 K jumbo frames reduce CPU load, while an aluminum heatsink and both full‑height and low‑profile brackets keep heat in check across ATX, SFF and rack cases.

Compatible with Windows 10/11, Windows Server 2003/2008/2022 and Linux 3.10+, the card starts at £76.00 and ships worldwide. Its versatility makes it attractive for high‑throughput environments—from edge computing to NAS enclosures—where power efficiency and backward compatibility are prized.

As home offices and small data centers push for 10 Gbps connectivity without server‑grade hardware, Akasa’s compact card offers a cost‑effective upgrade path. By supporting legacy operating systems, it reduces migration costs for enterprises that still run older Windows Server releases today to keep operations running.
