4-PORT NBASE-T 2.5GBPS PC

PR42GI-NETWORK-CARD pcie network card

The StarTech.com quad-port 2.5 GbE network interface card (NIC) utilizes an Intel I225-V chipset with Intel vPro technology, enhancing performance and data integrity across four 2.5G Ethernet connections. Featuring variable multispeed options (2.5/1Gbps and 100/10Mbps), it offers compatibility with both new and legacy network hardware, allowing seamless integration with existing Cat5e or CAT6 cabling infrastructure while adding NBASE-T (802.3bz) compatibility. Leveraging Intel vPro technology for remote management and troubleshooting, the PCIe network card boosts bandwidth for data-intensive applications, network sharing, FTPs, and online content streaming, while mitigating network slowdowns.Capable of accessing speeds of up to 2.5GBASE-T using Cat5e (or better) cabling, it maximizes existing networks and equipment. The card connects via an available x4 PCI Express 2.0 (or higher) expansion slot and includes standard and low-profile brackets for installation into various systems and servers. Compatible with Windows, Windows Server, VMware, and Linux, it supports advanced features such as PXE Boot, WoL, VLAN tagging, 9 K jumbo frame, full-duplex, and Intel vPro technology.
