Product information

PCI Express LAN Card | Windows ® & Linux | Realtek RTL8125 | x1 PCIe

This single-port 2.5Gbps PCIe network card provides a versatile and cost-effective way to deploy 2.5GbE network connections. It adds a copper Ethernet port to your server or desktop computer, providing multi-gigabit Ethernet access to your network with four speeds: 2.5Gbps, 1G, 100Mbps, 10Mbps.

Cost-Effective Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Solution

The 2.5GBASE-T NIC model provides additional bandwidth using your existing Ethernet infrastructure to reduce cable upgrade costs. The card allows you to connect to 2.5GBASE-T and NBASE-T devices with network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, and 2.5Gbps over your CAT5e cable (up to 100m, depending on network configuration).

Optimal Technology for Optimal Performance

The network card adds an Ethernet port to your workstation via an x1 PCIe slot. It features 2.5GBASE-T technology and supports advanced multi-gigabit systems, including Cisco campus switches and Aruba Networks access points. The network card also supports NBASE-T and additional features such as 16K Jumbo Frames, Auto-MDIX, and Wake-on-LAN (WoL).

Efficient Ethernet

The Realtek RTL8125 chipset is compatible with IEEE 802.3az and IEEE 802.3u and supports the PCIe 2.0 interface for PC-integrated applications. It enables up to 250% higher data rates compared to Gigabit Ethernet and requires no changes to the existing cable infrastructure.
