Overview
This dual-port 2.5GbE network interface card (NIC) features independent Intel I225-V chipsets for each port with Intel vPro technology, to enhance performance and data integrity across two 2.5G ethernet connections. The variable multispeed options (2.5/1Gbps and 100/10Mbps) enable support for both new and legacy network hardware. Utilize existing Cat5e or CAT6 cabling infrastructure while adding NBASE-T (802.3bz) compatibility for seamless integration. The PCIe network card leverages Intel vPro technology for remote management and troubleshooting capabilities. Improve bandwidth for data-intensive applications, network sharing, FTPs, online or local storage/backup, and the streaming of online content - while reducing network slowdowns. Access up to 2.5GBASE-T speeds using Cat5e (or better) cabling, to maximize existing networks and equipment. To ensure reliable performance, two Intel I225-V chipsets are used, providing independent Ethernet controllers to each port. The network interface card connects via an available x2 PCI Express 2.0 (or higher) expansion slot. The card ships in a standard-profile bracket and includes a low-profile bracket for installation into small form factor systems and servers. This ethernet NIC card is compatible with Windows and Linux.
