| Revew | St-Lab N-790 10G 2-Port PCIe Network CardThe ST Lab N-790 is a two-port Multi-Gigabit network card built on the Marvell AQC113CS controller with a PCI Express 3.0 x4 interface. It is designed for application servers, high-end workstations and PCs that need fast networking over standard copper cabling. Each port supports six speeds, 10Gb, 5Gb, 2.5Gb, 1Gb, 100Mb and 10Mb, with auto-negotiation. At 10Gbps it runs over Cat 6A cable up to 100 m, and over existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling it reaches up to 5Gbps. According to the manufacturer's site, a low-profile bracket is included for slim cases. 
Key features- Two 10GbE ports - Two RJ45 ports at up to 10Gbps each, for a NAS, a fast switch or two separate networks.
- Six speeds - Auto-negotiation of 10Gb/5Gb/2.5Gb/1Gb/100Mb/10Mb under IEEE 802.3bz and 802.3an, so the card also works with older network gear.
- Works with existing cabling - Up to 10Gbps over Cat 6A cable up to 100 m, and up to 5Gbps over Cat 5e or Cat 6.
- PCI Express 3.0 x4 - A four-lane interface that fits a free PCIe x4 slot of Gen 4, Gen 3 or Gen 2.
- Efficiency - Energy Efficient Ethernet, jumbo frames up to 16K and IP, TCP and UDP checksum offload.
- Wake-on-LAN - Power on the computer remotely over the network.
