  • TypePCIE Wi-Fi Adapter
  • Gigabit wired speed up to 1000 Mbps with Realtek RTL8111C chipset
  • Driver-free setup on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Linux systems
  • Single RJ-45 port supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation
  • PCIe x1 interface compliant with IEEE 802.3 and 802.1 VLAN standards
  • LED indicator shows link status for quick network troubleshooting

Wired PCIe Ethernet for Desktop Builds

This YINGHUA adapter adds a single Gigabit RJ-45 port through any free PCIe x1 slot. It uses a Realtek RTL8111C controller and is intended for Windows XP, Vista, 7, Server 2003 or Linux systems that lack onboard Ethernet or need a second wired link.

Fits Standard PCIe x1 Slots

The card requires one open PCIe x1 lane and draws power from the slot itself, so no extra cables are needed. Driver-free installation works on the listed operating systems, freeing a USB port that a dongle would otherwise occupy. Buyers whose motherboards have no PCIe x1 availability cannot use this card.

Driver-Free Setup on Supported OS

The package includes only the adapter card; no bracket, cable or utility disc is supplied. Because the driver loads automatically on Windows 98SE through 7 and on Linux, there is no separate download step. Users running newer Windows versions or requiring advanced VLAN tagging must verify compatibility themselves.

Questions about this item

Does the RTL8111C chipset saturate the PCIe x1 lane at 1000 Mbps under sustained load?

The adapter runs at 10/100/1000 Mbps over a PCIe x1 slot, so the lane bandwidth exceeds the port's maximum rate.

How much heat or fan noise does the card produce during all-day operation?

The card has no fan and draws little power, so it stays cool and silent in continuous use.

What slot must the motherboard provide for this adapter to work?

At least one free PCIe x1 slot is required for installation.
