Microconnect MC-PCIEX4-I226-T4 - Network Interface Card

The Microconnect MC-PCIEX4-I226-T4 is a quad-port 2.5G RJ45 PCIe x4 network interface card designed for PC workstations and servers. It connects via a PCI Express x4 slot and supports data transfer rates of up to 2,500 Mbit/s. By providing four network ports through a single expansion slot, the card is suitable for environments requiring routing, virtualization, or multi-host communication.

The adapter uses an Intel I226-T4 controller to manage data across its connections. As a wired-only device, it lacks wireless radios, making it appropriate for server operations that rely on physical cabling for security. It installs directly onto the motherboard, keeping the external hardware footprint minimal while allowing administrators to route traffic for multiple virtual machines or separate networks from a single chassis.

• Four RJ45 Ethernet ports provided by a single PCI Express slot
• Supports Ethernet LAN data rates of 10, 100, 1,000, and 2,500 Mbit/s
• Compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, and 802.3bz networking standards
• 160 g weight to reduce physical strain on the mounting bracket and motherboard
