Batianda 2.5G PCIe Network Card 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-V2VP-P5VYG

Adds a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port via PCIe x1 with Intel I225-V controller, supporting Windows 10 1809+ and Windows 11

  • 5 Gbps throughput for faster wired networking
  • Intel I225-V controller delivers reliable 2500 Mbps performance
  • PCIe x1 slot fits standard and low-profile brackets
  • Compatible with Windows 10 1809+, Windows 11 32/64-bit, Server 2019 and 2022
  • IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3x, 802.3bz standards ensure broad interoperability

2.5G PCIe network adapter for desktops

This single-port card adds a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet connection to any desktop or workstation with a free PCIe x1 slot. It targets users upgrading from standard Gigabit LAN who need higher local throughput for file servers, backups or multi-gig internet plans. The Intel I225-V controller handles the link and supports Intel vPro on compatible platforms.

IEEE 802.3bz caps the link at 2.5 Gbps over

The adapter negotiates 10, 100, 1000 or 2500 Mbps depending on the switch and cable quality, so older Cat 5e runs may limit you to 1 Gbps. Driver support starts at Windows 10 version 1809 and covers Windows 11 32-bit and 64-bit plus Windows Server 2019 and 2022; earlier operating systems are not supported.

Low-profile bracket included for small-form-factor

A standard-height bracket is also supplied, letting the card fit both full-size towers and slim chassis without extra purchases. The PCIe x1 edge connector works in any longer PCIe slot, and the on-board ACT/Link LEDs give immediate visual confirmation of link status and traffic.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the standard bracket or the low-profile bracket for my case?

Both brackets are included in the box, so you can fit the card into a full-height desktop chassis or a slim low-profile enclosure without buying extra parts.

What real-world throughput will I see from the 2.5Gbps rating on a busy network?

The card negotiates at 2.5Gbps full duplex, giving up to 2500Mbps in each direction; actual file-transfer speeds depend on your switch, cabling and storage subsystem.

Does the PCIe x1 interface limit the 2.5Gbps speed in practice?

A PCIe x1 slot provides ample bandwidth for 2.5Gbps Ethernet, so the interface does not cap the rated throughput.
