Expand your computer with fast network connectivity using the AXAGON PCIe 5GbE card. The card uses a PCI Express 3.1 x1 interface and provides transfer speeds of up to 5 Gb/s, making it suitable for fast copying of large files, working with NAS network storage, and demanding business or home networks. It can be installed in PCIe x1, x4, x8, and x16 slots, including PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 versions.
The RJ-45 port with 5GBASE-T and NBASE-T technology automatically detects speeds of 1, 2.5, or 5 Gb/s. Cat 5e cabling is suitable for 2.5 Gb/s, while Cat 6 is recommended for 5 Gb/s; depending on the quality of the installation, 5 Gb/s may also work over Cat 5e. A PCIe 3.0 slot or newer is required for the full 5 Gb/s speed, while in a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot, throughput is limited to approximately 4 Gb/s.
The passive finned heatsink ensures completely silent operation without a fan. The card supports advanced network functions for efficient data management and transfer:
The package includes both a standard bracket and a low-profile bracket, allowing the card to be installed in low-profile computer cases as well.
