Add a 5 Gbps Ethernet Port to a PCI Express-enabled computer
This TAA-compliant 5G Gigabit Ethernet card with Realtek RTL8126 chip adds a gigabit Ethernet interface to a desktop or server. 2.5G and 5G speeds maximize Cat5e infrastructure, providing multi-Gig performance without cabling upgrades.
Plug And Play Compatible
This 1-port network interface card is plug-and-play compatible, with drivers that auto-install on major operating systems such as Windows, Windows Server, and Linux. It is compatible with Intel and AMD hardware platforms equipped with PCI Express x1, x2, x4, x8, or x16 slots.
Performance and Management
This network card features link speed and activity LED indicators for visual network speed verification and issue diagnosis.
This PCIe network adapter supports 9K jumbo frames to minimize packet overhead, Wake-on-LAN (WoL) for remote system booting, auto-negotiation between 10/100M/2.5G/5G, and VLANs for streamlined network management. This network card supports virtually any environment, accommodating both the latest and slower legacy network connections. Futureproof your devices by ensuring your system is ready as more devices become 5G compatible.
Universal Fit
The PCI Express NIC includes full-height (pre-installed) and low-profile (accessory in the box) brackets for installation in compact and standard desktops or servers.
