BoYata

BoYata Dual Port 2.5Gbps PCIe x1 Network Adapter 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-Q6NM-2JWX0

Adds two 2.5Gbps RJ45 ports via a PCIe x1 slot for faster wired networking

  • Add two 2.5 Gbps RJ45 ports via a single PCIe x1 slot
  • Transfer files up to 2.5 times faster than 1000 Mbps Ethernet
  • Fits x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots for broad motherboard compatibility
  • Includes low-profile and standard brackets for flexible case fit
  • Supports VLAN tagging, PXE boot and full-duplex flow control

Dual-port 2.5GbE upgrade

This PCIe x1 network adapter adds two RJ45 ports to a desktop, each capable of 2.5Gbps wired throughput. It suits systems that lack enough Ethernet ports or have a failed onboard controller. The card supports IEEE 802.3bz 2.5GBASE-T and full-duplex flow control for reliable wired connections.

Flexible bracket and slot fit

A low-profile bracket and a standard bracket are included so the card fits slim or full-height cases. The x1 edge connector works in x1, x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express slots, letting you use any free lane on the motherboard. Note that it requires a PCIe slot and will not work in legacy PCI slots.

Passive cooling and low power

The adapter runs without a fan, relying on the case airflow to dissipate heat during typical 2.5GbE traffic. Power draw is modest for a dual-port controller, keeping the load on the motherboard slot within normal limits. Silent operation makes it suitable for quiet workstations or home servers.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum sustained throughput of the 2.5Gbps ports under continuous load?

Each port supports up to 2500 Mbps per the IEEE 802.3bz 2.5GBASE-T standard, so the practical ceiling under sustained use is 2.5 Gbps per port.

How much heat and power does the card draw when running both ports at full speed all day?

The adapter uses a PCIe x1 interface and has no active cooling, so heat output and power draw stay low enough for passive operation in a standard desktop case.

Which bracket and slot type must my motherboard already have for this card to install and work?

You need a free PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and the card includes both a standard-height and a low-profile bracket for either chassis type.
