A  network expansion card "VISION 10G LAN Card" compatible with 10 Gigabit LAN has been released from the "VISION" series for makers. The model includes a white heat sink cover that matches the rest of the series, and the bus interface is PCI-Express 3.0 compliant (x4).

A card can add 1 x 10 Gigabit LAN port (RJ45) to the system, the network controller is based on a Marvell AQtion "AQC113C". The cable supports CAT6A / CAT7 cables up to 100m. The transmission speed is 10Gbps / 5Gbps / 2.5Gbps / 1Gbps / 100Mbps / 10Mbps, and the supported OS is Windows 10 (64bit). The product comes with full height and low profile brackets.

The Gigabyte Vision 10G LAN Card is fully backward compatible via the IEEE 802.3bz standard and works in a network with lower transmission rates of 5, 2.5 and 1 Gigabit/s. Compatibility is even required with the even older standards with 100 and 10 Mbit/s. However, in order to be able to fully exploit the full performance potential in the 10 GbE network, the network must be implemented using cables of the CAT6a or CAT7 standard. A CAT5e cable at the RJ45 port is sufficient for 5 Gigabit/s, provided a length of 30 m is not exceeded. Otherwise, a CAT6 should be chosen.

Gigabyte did not mention any pricing.
