Single-port Gigabit NIC for desktop and server

The card uses an Intel 82573 controller to provide one RJ45 port running at 1000 megabits per second over copper cabling up to 100 metres. It targets administrators who need a reliable wired link on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD or VMware ESXi 5 and 6 without moving to multi-port or higher-speed adapters.

PCIe 1.1 x1 slot with dual brackets included

The interface is PCI Express v1.1 at 2.5 GT/s on a single lane and fits any x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot. Both low-profile and full-height brackets are supplied so the card works in standard towers and slim chassis alike, freeing a wider slot for other expansion cards.

Passive cooling with modest power draw

No fan is fitted so the card adds no audible noise and relies on case airflow for thermal management. Power consumption stays low thanks to the single 1 Gb controller and PCIe 1.1 signalling, keeping heat output minimal in continuous server or desktop operation.

Questions about this item

Will the Intel 82573 controller saturate the PCIe v1.1 x1 lane at full 1000 megabits per second?

The card runs at 2.5 GT/s on a single lane, which provides enough bandwidth for the 1000 megabits per second Ethernet link without bottleneck.

How much heat or fan noise does the card add when it runs continuously in a server?

The board is a passive low-profile design with no fan, so it adds no audible noise and only minimal heat inside the chassis.

Which bracket do I need pre-installed to fit a standard-height server chassis?

The package includes both a low-profile bracket and a full-height bracket; attach the full-height bracket for a standard server slot.
