SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Dual Port Gigabit PCIe 2.1 x1 Network Card Intel 82576 Low Profile Bracket

SKU CH-2M0B-RW99T

Adds two gigabit RJ45 ports via a PCIe 2.1 x1 slot using the Intel 82576 controller, with a low-profile bracket for slim or rackmount systems

  • Intel 82576 controller delivers enterprise-grade throughput and low CPU load
  • Dual RJ45 gigabit ports enable link aggregation, load balancing and failover redundancy
  • PCIe 2.1 x1 interface fits x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots without wasting high-speed lanes
  • Low-profile bracket included for 1U racks, slim chassis and compact industrial hosts
  • Full driver support across Windows, Windows Server and mainstream Linux distributions

Dual-Port Gigabit PCIe 2.1 Adapter

This SMUGDESK network card adds two independent RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports through a single PCI Express 2.1 x1 slot. It uses the Intel 82576 controller chip to deliver enterprise-grade packet processing with low CPU overhead. The board ships with both a full-height bracket and a low-profile bracket for flexible chassis fitment.

Server builders needing link aggregation or failover

The dual ports support trunking, load balancing and fault failover, making the card suited for file servers, virtualisation hosts and multi-network appliances. It is not for buyers who need more than two copper ports, or systems without an available PCIe slot.

Intel 82576 controller with PCIe 2.1 x1 interface

The Intel 82576 chip provides mature driver support across Windows, Windows Server and mainstream Linux distributions. The PCIe 2.1 x1 interface fits x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots and negotiates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps per port.

Questions about this item

Will the Intel 82576 controller need a firmware update later?

The card runs on the mature Intel 82576 chip; driver updates from Windows, Windows Server or mainstream Linux distributions cover any controller improvements, and no separate firmware tool is required.

What limits throughput when both ports run at 1000 Mbps continuously?

The PCIe 2.1 x1 link provides a single-lane ceiling, so sustained dual-port traffic at 1000 Mbps each will hit the bus bandwidth first.

How much heat does the card add inside a 1U server running all day?

The passive-cooled board draws power only from the PCIe 2.1 x1 slot, so it adds minimal heat and produces no fan noise in a 1U rack server.
