Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express network card with RJ-45 port and Realtek RTL8111C chipset

  • Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps via PCI Express 1.1
  • Realtek RTL8111C chipset drives reliable 10/100/1000 Mbps data transfer
  • Single RJ-45 port adds wired LAN to laptops and desktops
  • Broad OS support covers Windows XP through 7, Server 2003 and Linux
  • ACPI 2.0 power management reduces energy use during idle periods

Gigabit Ethernet PCI-E Card

This PCI Express network card adds a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 port to a desktop system. It uses the Realtek RTL8111C chipset and complies with the PCI Express 1.1 specification. The adapter targets users who need a wired Gigabit connection on a motherboard lacking an onboard Ethernet controller or requiring a second port. It supports Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Server 2003 in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions as well as Linux.

Low-profile bracket included

The package supplies a short bracket so the card fits slim or low-profile chassis without modification. A single external RJ-45 jack handles the network cable and onboard LEDs show link and activity status at a glance. Power management follows the ACPI 2.0 standard allowing the operating system to control sleep and wake states. No external power connector is required as the card draws power directly from the PCI Express slot.

Replaces missing or failed onboard LAN

This card upgrades a system that has no Ethernet port or a damaged onboard controller without occupying a full-size bracket slot. It is not suited for builders who need multi-gigabit speeds beyond 1000 Mbps or additional features such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. The jump is worthwhile when a reliable wired Gigabit link is required and the motherboard provides a free PCI Express x1 or larger slot.

Questions about this item

Does the PCI Express 1.1 interface limit the 1000 Mbps Ethernet speed in practice?

The card complies with PCI Express rev 1.1 and runs at 10/100/1000 Mbps, so Gigabit throughput is supported within that generation's bandwidth.

What bracket and slot are required to mount the 0381 network card?

A PCI Express x1 slot and the included short bracket let the card fit low-profile or standard cases with one RJ-45 port facing the rear.

How is the Realtek RTL8111C card installed, and which step is often missed?

Insert the card into a free PCI-E slot, secure it with the screw, attach the short bracket if needed, then install the Windows XP/Vista/7, Server 2003 or Linux driver so the 1000M link activates.
