StarTech Network Card, 2.5 Gbps Network Speed, 4 Ports - PR42GI-NETWORK-CARD

This network card provides quad independent Ethernet connections for desktops and servers, offering multispeed compatibility to bridge new and legacy network infrastructure. Fitted as a PCIe expansion device, it supports remote management and boot operations while utilising existing Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for up to 2.5GBASE-T throughput. The design includes low-profile bracket support for small form factor systems and compatibility with common operating systems.

Features and Benefits:

• 2.5Gbps maximum data transfer rate increases throughput for heavy traffic
• Independent Intel I225-V controllers reduce port contention
• PCIe x4 Interface enables host bandwidth for multiple links
• Wake-on-LAN capability permits remote system power-up
• 9K jumbo frame support lowers CPU overhead for large transfers

Applications

• Used for multi-gigabit workstation storage access
• Suitable for networked media streaming and content delivery
• Ideal for server LAN consolidation in small racks
• Used with mixed-speed cabling to upgrade office networks

Which expansion slot is required for installation?

It requires an available PCI Express x4 slot or higher.

Which ports support Wake-on-LAN?
