MICROCONNECT MC-PCIEX1-I225-T2 - Dual-Port 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter

The MICROCONNECT MC-PCIEX1-I225-T2 Dual-Port 2.5G RJ45 PCIe x1 Ethernet Network Adapter adds multi-gigabit wired connectivity to desktop PCs and small servers. It installs into a PCI Express 3.1 x1 slot and supports the IEEE 2.5GBASE-T standard, providing faster networking than standard gigabit hardware. With transfer rates of up to 2500 Mbit/s, the adapter helps move large files and performs system backups more quickly. This card is a straightforward hardware upgrade for workstations that require consistent, high-capacity network performance.

The Intel I225-V chipset efficiently manages data traffic, even under heavy loads. System administrators can enable jumbo frames to reduce processing overhead and improve packet handling. As a wired-only adapter, it does not include Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, ensuring a dedicated physical connection. Weighing 40 grams, the card adds minimal strain to the motherboard once secured in the chassis.
