Product description
This quad-port 2.5 GbE network interface card (NIC) features independent Intel I225-V chipsets and enables server upgrade or PCIe Ethernet card replacement, offering variable multispeed options (2.5G/1G/100M/10Mbps) to support legacy or latest networking hardware. It enhances network speed, enables Intel vPro for remote management, and supports up to 2.5GBase-T Gbps speeds using Cat5e. To ensure reliable performance, two Intel I225-V chipsets are used, providing independent Ethernet controllers to each port. The card connects via an x4 PCI Express 2.0 (or higher) expansion slot, supports advanced features such as PXE Boot, WoL, VLAN tagging, and full-duplex, and is compatible with Windows, Windows Server, VMware, and Linux. It includes a standard-profile bracket and a low-profile bracket for installation in different systems, and is backed for two years, including free lifetime 24/5 multi-lingual technical assistance.
