This 2.5 GbE network interface card (NIC) features an Intel I225-V chipset with Intel vPro technology, to enhance performance and data integrity. Variable multispeed options (2.5/1Gbps and 100/10Mbps) enable support for both new and legacy network hardware. Leverage existing Cat5e or CAT6 cabling infrastructure while adding NBASE-T (802.3bz) compatibility for seamless integration.
Increased Network Speed
The PCIe network card leverages Intel vPro technology for remote management and troubleshooting capabilities. Improve bandwidth for data-intensive applications, network sharing, FTP, online or local storage/backup, and the streaming of online content - while reducing network slowdowns. Access up to 2.5GBASE-T speeds over Cat5e (or better) cabling, to maximize existing networks and equipment.
Enhance Existing Hardware
