10G PCIe Network Adapter

The Wavlink WL-NWP004 adds a single RJ45 port capable of 10Gbps Ethernet to a desktop PC. It uses the AQC113C-B controller and connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x4 interface that fits x4, x8 or x16 slots. Both a standard bracket and a low-profile bracket are included for different case heights. Windows 11, Windows 10 and Linux 3.10 or newer are supported.

Sustained throughput and thermals

The card negotiates 10000, 5000, 2500, 1000, 100 or 10Mbps links automatically, so it maintains the highest rate the cabling and switch allow. An on-board heatsink dissipates heat from the controller during continuous heavy transfers, helping to keep performance stable over long sessions. Green and yellow LEDs show link status and activity at a glance.

Upgrade path and fit considerations

This adapter replaces a built-in 1GbE port when the motherboard has a free PCIe slot and the network infrastructure already runs Cat6a or better cabling. The low-profile bracket makes it viable for slim tower chassis where a full-height card would not fit. Buyers whose switches only support 1GbE or who lack an available PCIe slot will not see a speed benefit.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the AQC113C-B chipset generate when the card runs at 10Gbps all day?

The card uses an aluminium heatsink designed for fast heat dissipation, keeping the AQC113C-B chipset cool during continuous 10Gbps operation without requiring an active fan.

What motherboard slot and operating system are required for the WL-NWP004 to function?

You need a free PCIe 3.0 x4 slot (also compatible with x1, x4, x8, x16) and either Windows 10, Windows 11, or Linux kernel 3.10 and higher.

Will this 10G card negotiate down to 1Gbps on my older Cat5e patch panel and switch?

Yes, the RJ45 port supports backward-compatible speeds of 10000, 5000, 2500, 1000, 100 and 10Mbps, so it will link at 1Gbps over existing Cat5e cabling.
