Single-port PCIe Gigabit adapter

The StarTech ST1000SPEXI adds one RJ-45 port to a desktop, server or workstation through a PCI Express x1 slot. An Intel I210-AT chipset drives 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds with full IEEE 802.3 compliance. PXE boot, Wake-on-LAN and 9K jumbo frames are supported out of the box. A low-profile bracket is included for compact chassis.

Suits systems lacking onboard Ethernet

Ideal for restoring wired connectivity after a failed integrated port or adding a dedicated link for virtualisation traffic. The single port limits configurations that need teaming, failover or separate management and data networks. Builds requiring fibre uplinks, multi-gigabit speeds or additional ports should select a different adapter.

Fits any free PCIe x1 slot

Installation consumes one PCI Express x1 lane and a rear bracket opening; the half-height board clears standard low-profile cases. No auxiliary power connector is required. The card frees the motherboard’s integrated controller for other tasks while providing a reliable Intel-based link for imaging, backup or iSCSI workloads.

Questions about this item

My motherboard has a PCIe x1 slot — is that the only slot this card needs?

Yes, the ST1000SPEXI plugs into a single PCI Express x1 slot and draws power from it; no extra cables or larger slots are required.

Will the Intel I210-AT chipset negotiate 100 Mbps on my old 100BASE-TX switch?

Yes, the card supports IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX and autonegotiation, so it will link at 100 Mbps with that switch.

Which LED should be lit to confirm a 1000 Mbps link after I install the card?

The 100/1000 Mbps indicator lights for a gigabit connection, while the Link/Activity LED blinks during traffic.
