MicroConnect PCI Express M.2 B+M Intel I225 1x RJ45 2.5 Gigabit - Network Card

The MicroConnect PCIe M.2 B+M I225 2.5G network card provides a dedicated wired connection for compatible PCs. It connects to a motherboard via an M.2 B+M key slot. The card supports data transfer speeds of up to 2500 Mbit/s, providing a high-capacity local network link. This extra bandwidth is useful for tasks that exceed standard gigabit speeds, such as transferring large files.

Its compact size makes the module suitable for embedded systems or small-form-factor computers that lack traditional expansion slots. A single RJ45 port allows for standard copper network cable connections. As a wired-only component, the unit has no Wi-Fi functionality, avoiding potential wireless interference. Weighing 150 grams, the unit adds minimal mass to small-form-factor cases.
