Single-Port Gigabit Server Adapter
The HPE NC112T is a single-port Gigabit Ethernet server adapter built on Intel 82574L silicon. It connects through a PCI Express x1 lane and fits both standard and low-profile slots. The card targets administrators who need a basic copper link for rack or tower servers.
Auto-Negotiation and Onboard Buffer
The adapter auto-negotiates 10/100/1000Base-T speed and duplex over a single RJ-45 port. Its 32KB onboard memory handles frame buffering without host CPU intervention. No extra cables, brackets or management software are included in the box.
PCI Express x1 Host Interface
The card requires a free PCI Express x1 slot or larger. It will not operate in systems that lack this interface or that use proprietary mezzanine connectors. Buyers needing fibre uplinks or multi-port density must select a different module.

Questions about this item
Does the Intel 82574L controller require any firmware updates or scheduled maintenance?
The NC112T has no moving parts and no user-serviceable components; the Intel 82574L controller runs without firmware updates or scheduled maintenance.
What throughput limit appears first when the single RJ-45 port runs at 1000 Mbps continuously?
The PCI Express x1 host interface caps sustained throughput at the link speed of the single 10/100/1000Base-T port, so the Gigabit Ethernet line rate is the first bottleneck.
How much heat and power does the card add when it stays active all day in a server?
The low-profile plug-in card draws minimal power through the PCIe x1 slot and uses passive cooling, adding negligible heat and no audible noise during continuous operation.
