This single-port 2.5Gbps PCIe network card offers a versatile and low-cost way
to deploy 2.5GbE network connectivity. It adds one copper Ethernet port to your
server or desktop computer and provides Multi-Gigabit Ethernet access to your
network at four speeds: 2.5 Gbps, 1G, 100Mbps, 10Mbps.
Cost-Effective Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Solution
The 2.5GBASE-T NIC provides additional bandwidth using your existing Ethernet
infrastructure to help reduce the cost of cabling upgrades. The card enables you
to connect to 2.5GBASE-T and NBASE-T equipment at network speeds
of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps over your CAT5e cabling (up to 100
m depending on the network configuration).
Optimal Technology for Optimal Performance
The network adapter card adds one Ethernet port to your workstation through a
x4 PCIe slot. It features 2.5GBASE-T technology, supporting advanced
Multi-Gigabit systems, including Cisco campus switches and Aruba Networks access
