Intel Dual Band Wireless AC Bluetooth 4.0 Mini PCIe Network Card

SKU CH-8WEX-AE7JS

Adds dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 to laptops via a half-height Mini PCIe slot with 433 Mbps throughput

  • Dual-band Wi-Fi on 2.4 and 5.8 GHz
  • Bluetooth 4.0 with Smart Power Optimizer
  • 433 Mbps transfer rate via 1x1 streams
  • Half-height Mini PCIe fits compact slots
  • General version card — not for HP or IBM laptops

Intel Dual Band Wireless AC Bluetooth 4.0 Mini

This Intel network card adds dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 to laptops with a half-height Mini PCIe slot. It supports 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequencies across A, B, G, N and AC standards. The card is a general version and will not function in laptops requiring HP or IBM specific whitelisted hardware.

Half-height Mini PCIe form factor

Installation requires an available half-height Mini PCIe slot inside the laptop chassis. The general version firmware means compatibility is limited to systems that do not enforce a vendor whitelist on the Wi-Fi module. Buyers must verify their laptop accepts generic Mini PCIe cards before purchase.

Single-stream 433 Mbps link with Bluetooth 4.0

The 1x1 TX/RX stream configuration delivers a maximum PHY rate of 433 Mbps on the 5.8 GHz AC band. Bluetooth 4.0 includes Smart Power Optimizer to reduce energy consumption during wireless peripheral use. Thermal output and acoustic noise are negligible for this low-power internal module.

Questions about this item

What does the 433 Mbs transfer speed mean for everyday use?

The 433 Mbs figure is the maximum theoretical link rate over a single 1×1 stream. Real-world throughput is typically lower due to interference, distance and router capability.

How does Bluetooth 4.0 affect compatibility with newer peripherals?

Bluetooth 4.0 connects to current mice, keyboards and headsets, though it lacks the range and speed improvements found in later Bluetooth versions.

Will the half-height Mini PCIe card fit a standard laptop slot?

The card uses a 1/2 height Mini PCIe form factor, so it fits full-size Mini PCIe slots but not the shorter M.2 Key E sockets used in many modern ultrabooks.
