RIITOP

RIITOP 5Gb PCIe Network Card Low Profile

SKU CH-AQ1M-5SRB9

Adds a 5 Gbps Ethernet port via PCIe x1 with low-profile bracket for Windows 11, 10, Server 2022 and Linux kernel 6.9+

  • Class5G, Sing RJ45
  • 5 Gbps wired speed — five times typical Gigabit Ethernet
  • Fits any PCIe x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot for broad compatibility
  • Includes 8 cm low-profile bracket for small-form-factor cases
  • Native Windows 11, 10 and Server 2022 support with Wake-on-LAN and QoS
  • Works out of the box on Linux kernel 6.9 or newer

5 Gbps PCIe Network Adapter

The RIITOP 5Gb PCIe Network Card adds a single RJ45 port to a desktop PC through any PCI Express x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot. It supports 10, 100, 1000, 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps link speeds and complies with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab standards. The card ships with a standard 12 cm bracket and an additional 8 cm low-profile bracket for small form factor cases. It is a new, single-port adapter designed for wired network upgrades.

Windows 11, 10 and Server 2022 ready

The adapter works out of the box with Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2022, including Wake on LAN and QoS features. Linux systems require kernel 6.9 or newer for native support; no Linux expertise support is offered. Buyers running older Linux kernels, macOS 10.7 or earlier, or Windows 8.1 and below should look at other solutions. The card also suits builders who need a low-profile bracket for compact chassis.

5 Gbps Ethernet speed decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 5 Gbps maximum Ethernet throughput over a single RJ45 connection. Your switch, router and cabling must support 5GBASE-T or 2.5GBASE-T to use the card above 1 Gbps. If the surrounding network infrastructure tops out at 1 Gbps, the extra headroom will not be realised.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 Gbps link saturate the PCIe x1 lane under sustained load?

The card uses a single PCIe lane and negotiates 2.5 G or 5 G speeds; sustained throughput will be limited by that lane's bandwidth.

How much heat or noise does the card add when running all day?

The adapter has no fan and draws power only from the slot, so it adds negligible heat and no audible noise during continuous operation.

Which bracket do I need on my case for the low-profile 8 cm bracket to fit?

The package includes both a 12 cm full-height bracket and an 8 cm low-profile bracket for small form-factor cases.
