9CLN4222NR-00 Gigabyte CLN4222 10G PCIe 3.0 x4 Ethernet Network Card

High-Performance PCIe 3.0 Dual-Port 10GbE BASE-T NIC for Enterprise Servers with the 9CLN4222NR-00

The 9CLN4222NR-00 is a Gigabyte PCIe add-in networking adapter engineered for dependable 10GbE copper connectivity in rack servers and virtualization hosts where RJ45 cabling is preferred over SFP+. Built on the Intel X550-AT2 controller, the 9CLN4222NR-00 delivers dual-port 10GBASE-T with backward compatibility to 1GbE, enabling clean migration paths while maintaining consistent link behavior across mixed-speed access layers.

Using a PCIe 3.0 x4 host interface, the 9CLN4222NR-00 provides a balanced bandwidth profile for common east-west traffic patterns, VM mobility, and storage front-end access without consuming higher-lane slots reserved for GPUs or NVMe expansion. The adapter’s architecture aligns well with iSCSI and NAS connectivity over 10GbE copper, supporting consolidated network and storage designs. Full-height mounting is standard, with low-profile bracket support to fit dense platforms and edge appliances, and the design intentionally excludes Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth to keep the server I/O stack deterministic and policy-compliant.

Why Choose the 9CLN4222NR-00?

The 9CLN4222NR-00 is a pragmatic choice for organizations standardizing on RJ45-based 10GbE at the access layer, offering strong density-to-performance for dual uplinks, redundancy, or segmented traffic. The 9CLN4222NR-00 supports scalable deployments by enabling consistent NIC configuration across host fleets, simplifying spares strategy, and providing a predictable PCIe footprint for repeatable server build templates.

Gigabyte designs server networking components with an emphasis on data centre reliability, controlled interoperability, and alignment with modern platform requirements, focusing on stable controller selection, mechanical fit across chassis types, and long-term operational consistency.

Key Applications:

• Virtualization host uplinks
• iSCSI storage networking
• NAS front-end connectivity
• Redundant top-of-rack server links
• Edge and branch rack servers
