Single-Port PCIe 1.1 Gigabit NIC

This SMUGDESK network adapter adds one gigabit RJ45 connection through a PCIe 1.1 x1 slot. The Broadcom BCM5751 controller handles 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation and includes a pre-installed PXE ROM for diskless boot scenarios. Full-height and low-profile brackets are supplied for standard or compact chassis.

Suits diskless workstations and legacy upgrades

It suits IT managers deploying diskless labs, internet cafés or industrial hosts that rely on PXE network boot. Builders who need multiple RJ45 ports, faster Ethernet speeds, a newer PCIe generation, or active cooling should look at something else.

Deciding spec: onboard PXE boot ROM

The onboard PXE boot ROM is the single specification that decides fit. It enables standard diskless network startup without a local drive, which is the core requirement for the targeted lab and café deployments. Without that need, a simpler adapter may suffice.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this single-port card or a multi-port version for my diskless workstation setup?

This card provides exactly one RJ45 port, which is sufficient for a single network connection in a diskless boot environment.

Will the BCM5751 chip deliver full 1000 Mbps throughput on my PCIe 1.1 slot?

The BCM5751 controller auto-negotiates 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, and the PCIe 1.1 x1 interface provides enough bandwidth for full gigabit operation.

What does PCIe 1.1 x1 mean for compatibility with my motherboard slots?

The PCIe 1.1 x1 interface fits into any x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and includes both full-height and low-profile brackets for different chassis sizes.
