Adafruit 4 Port 1GbE PCIe 2.0 x4 Network Card
Four-port 1GbE PCIe 2.0 x4 adapter with I350-AM4 controller, SR-IOV virtualization, jumbo frames and VLAN teaming for servers and routers
- Four 1GbE RJ45 ports deliver wired bandwidth up to 1000 Mbps
- PCIe 2.0 x4 interface provides four lanes for host connectivity
- SR-IOV and VMDq offload virtualization traffic from the CPU
- 9K jumbo frames plus 802.1Q VLAN tagging boost throughput for storage and teaming
- Full-height and low-profile brackets included for flexible chassis fit
Four-port 1GbE PCIe 2.0 x4 adapter
This Adafruit network card adds four RJ45 ports running at 10/100/1000BASE-T to a server or workstation. It uses an I350-AM4 controller compatible with the I350-T4 and connects through a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot. Both full-height and low-profile brackets are included for flexible installation.
Suits virtualization hosts and router builds
The card supports SR-IOV, VMDq, 9K jumbo frames, VLAN 802.1Q and link aggregation, making it a strong fit for ESXi, Proxmox, TrueNAS, pfSense or OPNsense deployments. Builders who need 10 GbE or fibre connectivity, or who lack a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot, should look elsewhere.
PCIe 2.0 x4 slot required
The adapter only works in a PCIe 2.0 x4 (or larger) slot; it will not function in x1 or proprietary connectors. Verify the motherboard has this slot free before purchase.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the I350-AM4 controller is operating at 1000 Mbps on all four RJ45 ports after installation?
Check each port LED for the 1000 Mbps indicator and confirm the OS network stack reports 1GbE link speed with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX active on CAT5e or CAT6 cabling up to 100 m.
Which brackets and cables are included with the card, and what must I source separately?
Full-height and low-profile brackets are included; you must supply CAT5e or CAT6 patch cables for each of the four RJ45 ports you intend to use.
Should I choose this PCIe 2.0 x4 card or a different interface version for my virtualization host?
This card uses PCIe 2.0 x4 and the I350-AM4 controller, matching the listed compatibility for ESXi, Proxmox, TrueNAS, pfSense and Windows or Linux servers.
