Product details

Add a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) 2.5Gbps port to a PCI Express-enabled computer.

This 2.5 GbE network interface card (NIC) features dual Intel I225-V chipsets with Intel vPro technology to enhance performance and data integrity. The variable multispeed options (2.5/1Gbps and 100/10Mbps) enable support for both new and legacy network hardware. Utilize existing CAT5e or CAT6 cabling infrastructure while adding NBASE-T (802.3bz) compatibility for seamless integration.

Power over Ethernet

The PCIe Ethernet card supports the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at (Type 1 and Type 2) standards for Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and can deliver up to 48V DC and 25.5W of power per port to compliant Powered Devices (PD). This flexibility eliminates the need for separate power supplies or PoE injectors for remote networked devices such as IP cameras, access control devices, remote kiosks, and wireless access points.

Increased Network Speed

The PCIe network card leverages Intel vPro technology for remote management and troubleshooting capabilities. Improve bandwidth for data-intensive applications, network sharing, FTPs, online or local storage/backup, and the streaming of online content while reducing network slowdowns. Access up to 2.5GBASE-T speeds using Cat5e (or better) cabling to maximize existing networks and equipment.

Enhance Existing Hardware

The network interface card connects through an available PCI Express x2 2.0 (or higher) expansion slot. The card ships with a standard-profile bracket pre-installed and includes a low-profile bracket for installation into small form factor systems and servers. This Ethernet NIC card is compatible with Windows, Windows Server, VMware, and Linux.

This card supports the following advanced features: PXE Boot, WoL, VLAN tagging, 9K jumbo frame, full-duplex, and Intel vPro technology.
