StarTech 1 Port Low Profile PCI Express PCIe Gigabit NIC Server Adapter Network Card

Make your networking capabilities more robust and efficient with the ST1000SPEX2L Low-Profile PCIe Gigabit Network Card. This high-performance network card introduces a 10/100/1000 Mbps compatible RJ45 Ethernet port to any PCI Express-enabled client, server, or workstation, making it an ideal solution for enhancing or replacing your existing networking interface.

Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3/u/ab standards, this versatile Gigabit NIC/Server Adapter is designed to optimize network performance. It supports 9K Jumbo Frames and VLAN tagging, which can significantly improve data transfer rates and network efficiency. The Wake on LAN (WOL) feature allows for remote management of your system, adding an extra layer of convenience.

The ST1000SPEX2L Network Card comes pre-configured with a low-profile/half-height installation bracket, making it compatible with a wide range of computer/server chassis, regardless of their form factor. A standard profile bracket is also included for added flexibility during installation.

This Gigabit Network Card features a single 10/100/1000Mbps compatible RJ45 Ethernet port, complete with Gigabit detection and Link/Activity LED indicators. It supports full and half duplex modes, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, IEEE 802.1P Layer 2 Priority Encoding, and IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex Flow Control. The card also boasts a crossover detection and auto-correction (Auto MDI/MDI-X) advantage, ensuring a smooth and reliable networking experience.

Whether you're looking to upgrade from 10/100 Ethernet capability to Gigabit capability, add an Ethernet port to a workstation or server computer for redundancy or bridging, or introduce networking capabilities to an older system without an Ethernet port, the ST1000SPEX2L Low-Profile PCIe Gigabit Network Card is a reliable and efficient choice.
