SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SD-PEX24066 Dual 2.5G PCIe x1 Network Card

SKU CH-HBDY-D7EXV

Dual-port 2.5GbE PCIe x1 card with RTL8125 controllers, low-profile bracket and 802.1Q VLAN support for NAS or server upgrades

  • Dual 2.5 Gbps ports deliver 5 Gbps total throughput
  • PCIe x1 Gen2 fits x1 through x16 slots for universal compatibility
  • Includes full-height and 8 cm low-profile brackets for slim chassis
  • 1Q VLAN tagging enables network isolation and traffic management
  • Drivers for Windows, macOS and Linux support NAS and gateway roles

Dual 2.5G Ethernet expansion for servers

The SMUGDESK SD-PEX24066 adds two independent 2.5Gbps RJ45 ports through a single PCIe x1 slot. Each port uses a Realtek RTL8125 controller to deliver up to 2500Mbps bandwidth, giving a combined 5Gbps throughput for NAS, file-server or multi-network gateway workloads.

Fits standard and low-profile cases with both

Installation uses any PCIe x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot but will not work in legacy PCI slots. The box supplies a full-height bracket and an 8cm low-profile bracket so the card fits slim SFF, HTPC and compact rackmount chassis. Driver support covers Windows, macOS and Linux for broad OS compatibility.

Suits builders who need two 2.5G links in one slot

This card is for users who want dual-port 2.5G connectivity without occupying multiple expansion slots. It is not for systems that only have legacy PCI slots, nor for buyers who require 10Gbps or faster Ethernet speeds.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the SD-PEX24066 is running at 2.5Gbps after installation?

Check the adapter properties in your OS network settings; each RTL8125 port should report a 2500Mbps link speed when connected to a 2.5G switch or router with CAT5E or better cable.

Which brackets and cables are included with the SD-PEX24066, and what must I provide?

The box contains a full-height bracket and an 8cm low-profile bracket; you must supply CAT5E, CAT6 or CAT6A Ethernet cables for each RJ45 port you use.

Should I choose the single-port or dual-port version of this 2.5G card for a NAS with two separate networks?

The SD-PEX24066 is the dual-port model with two independent RTL8125 controllers, giving two 2.5Gbps RJ45 interfaces for separate VLANs or aggregated 5Gbps bandwidth.
