The 10G NIC Adapter EX-8103P design hosts the Aquantia AQC107 designed for low-power, low-cost and single-port applications.  Aquantia’s AQtion devices, the AQC107 support 5 and 2.5 GigabitEthernet over copper, or 2.5/5GBASE-T, and are compliant with the NBASE-T specification and the new IEEE 802.3bz standard that was formally ratified in September 2016. In addition, both devices also support backward compatibility with 100MbE and Gigabit Ethernet. The AQC107 has the extra feature of supporting up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, or 10GBASE-T, on Cat6A copper cables, complying with the IEEE standard 802.3an. The AQtion controller is designed with a PCI Express Gen2/3 x1,x2, x4 for optimal line rate performance connecting to the CPU on the system side.
 

High speed without lag, more stable transmission

with Cat6a for 100 meter, cat5e for max throughput 10Gbps.

With prioritization, the network packets coming out of the system are tagged with a priority. 
Those at the top priority hop on the express lane and shoot straight out, while others are queued behind.
