The Intel® Ethernet Connection X557 family is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) copper networking Physical Layer (PHY) for workstation, server, and embedded designs that have critical space and power constraints. The Intel® Ethernet Connection X557 family offers three design options: X557-AT (single 10 GbE PHY), the X557-AT2 (dual 10 GbE PHY), and the X557-AT4 (quad 10 GbE PHY)that provides connectivity for Network Interface Cards (NICs) and LAN on Motherboard (LOM) applications that require 10GBASE-T capability.

Power Savings

Power efficiency is critical to IT specialists as energy consumption is a real OpEx concern:

Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) reduces power consumption during periods of low data activity. Energy is used to maintain the physical layer transmitters in a ready state to transmit data on the wire. During periods of low data traffic, EEE sends a low-power-idle signal to put the transmitters into a low power state saving power and cost. When data needs to be sent, EEE sends a normal idle signal to wake up the transmit system before data is due to be sent so there is no degradation of performance.
