Dual-port Gigabit server adapter

The StarTech ST2000SPEXI adds two RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports through a single PCI Express x4 slot. It uses the Intel I350-AM2 controller and supports full-duplex transfer at up to 2000 Mbps. A low-profile bracket is included for compact chassis.

Suited for servers and workstations needing extra

This card fits builds that require two independent 10/100/1000 Mbps connections on a standard-profile or low-profile board. Buyers who need fibre uplinks or speeds beyond 1 Gbps per port should look elsewhere.

PCIe x4 host interface

The x4 electrical connection delivers the 2000 Mbps full-duplex bandwidth that separates this adapter from x1 alternatives. Verify that the target system has a free PCIe x4 or larger slot before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the standard-profile bracket or the included low-profile bracket for my chassis?

The card ships with both a standard-profile bracket and a low-profile bracket, so you can fit it in either a full-height or a slim chassis without extra parts.

What does the 2000 Mbps full-duplex figure mean once the card is installed?

It means each of the two Gigabit ports can send and receive simultaneously, giving a combined 2000 Mbps throughput between the card and the motherboard over the PCIe x4 link.

What does the PCIe x4 interface cap in practice for this adapter?

The PCIe x4 connection provides enough bandwidth for both ports to run at their full 1000 Mbps line rate in full-duplex mode without bottlenecking the host bus.
