Dual-Port 2.5 Gb Ethernet Adapter
This PCIe 2.0 x4 network card adds two RJ45 ports to a desktop or server. The Intel I226V controller delivers 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps speeds over existing CAT5e or CAT6a cabling. A low-profile bracket is included for slim chassis installations. Windows 10, 11 and Linux platforms are supported.
Who This Suits and Who It Does Not
Builders needing multi-gigabit wired links for file transfers, virtualisation or backup traffic will benefit from the dual 2.5 Gbps ports. VLAN tagging, jumbo frames up to 9 KB and PXE boot are available for managed networks. Buyers whose systems lack a PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot cannot install this card. Users requiring fibre connectivity or single-port only should consider other options.
PCIe 2.0 x4 Bus Requirement
The card operates on a PCI Express 2.0 x4 interface and fits x4, x8 or x16 slots. An available slot of at least x4 electrical width is the single specification that determines compatibility. Without such a slot the adapter will not function.

Questions about this item
Will this card fit in a standard PCIe x4 slot and does it include a low-profile bracket?
The card uses a PCI Express 2.0 x4 interface and is operable in x4, x8, or x16 slots; it ships with a low-profile bracket for slim chassis installations.
What driver steps are required to get both 2.5 GbE ports working on Windows 10 or 11?
Windows 10 and 11 include in-box drivers for the Intel I226V controller; after seating the card in an x4 slot, both RJ45 ports appear in Device Manager without manual driver downloads.
Which cabling standard should I plan for when replacing patch leads to maintain 2.5 Gbps links?
The adapter supports 2.5 Gbps over Cat5e or Cat6a cabling per the 2.5GBASE-T and NBASE-T specifications, so existing Cat5e runs are sufficient.
