MICROCONNECT MC-M.2-A+E-I210CL-S - Network Interface Card

The MICROCONNECT MC-M.2-A+E-I210CL-S is an M.2 A+E network card with a single-port 1GbE SFP interface for PCs and embedded industrial systems. It provides 1Gbps data transfer for Gigabit optical connections. The adapter connects via an internal PCI Express interface using an available M.2 A+E key slot. This design replaces standard wireless modules with a fibre-optic link, making it suitable for environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference from copper networks.

Physical installation requires a compatible motherboard header and sufficient space within the chassis for the transceiver module. The compact board is suited for small form factor systems, such as NUCs, where standard expansion cards do not fit. Weighing 160 grams, the unit adds little bulk to internal enclosures. The card acts strictly as a wired Ethernet interface, excluding Wi-Fi to ensure predictable local area network routing.

• Uses an Intel I210CL controller
• Single SFP port for standard pluggable fibre transceivers
• Native support for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11
• Compatible with Linux kernel 4.18 or later
