What bracket options does the TX401 include?
Both low-profile and full-height brackets are included, allowing installation in standard full-size towers and compact mini-tower cases.
What Ethernet cable should I use with the TX401?
The TX401 includes a 1.5 m CAT6A Ethernet cable rated for 10 Gbps performance. For longer runs, ensure any additional cables are also CAT6A-rated to maintain full 10 Gbps speeds.
Which operating systems does the TX401 support?
The TX401 is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11; Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019; and Linux distributions.
What is the warranty period for the TX401?
The TP-Link TX401 includes a 36-month manufacturer warranty covering hardware defects and failures.
Can the TX401 achieve 10 Gbps speeds immediately after installation?
Speed depends on network infrastructure. The TX401 will achieve 10 Gbps when connected to a 10 Gbps-capable network switch or infrastructure. Ensure your network endpoints and cabling (CAT6A minimum) support 10 Gbps for full performance.
Is the TX401 suitable for virtualisation and data centre environments?
Yes. The 10 Gbps speed, low latency, and broad OS support make the TX401 well-suited for virtualisation, cloud infrastructure, and data centre server deployments.
