StarTech.com PR12GIP-NETWORK-CARD 1-Port 2.5Gbps PoE Network PCIe Card

1-Port 2.5Gbps NBASE-T PoE Network Card, Intel I225-V, 802.3af/at PoE+ Multi-Gigabit NIC, PCI Express Server LAN Card, SATA Powered Desktop Ethernet Interface - Supports Windows, Linux, VMware ESXI

- 2.5G POE ETHERNET CARD: High-performance PCIe 2.5Gbps network card with Intel I225-V chip; Leverage existing Cat5e/Cat6 cabling (or better) without the use of a Power over Ethernet injector; NBASE-T compatible (802.3bz); PCI Express 2.0 x1

- POE+ COMPLIANT: Ethernet NIC provides up to 30W PSE and 25.5W PD at 48V DC to a connected device; Supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) to power remote devices such as access points, RFID readers, and IP cameras

- IT MANAGEMENT: Intel vPro for remote management and troubleshooting; PXE boot enabled for centralized OS deployment and updates; 9K jumbo frame for reduced packet overhead; Remote system boot via WoL; VLAN support for efficient network management

- BUILD QUALITY: LAN card features built-in heatsink to keep controller chips running cool and for optimal performance, LED indicators for link status/speed, and LAN transformers maintain signal quality and reduced EMI for reliable communication

- COMPATIBILITY: 2.5GBASE-T variable speed options (2.5G/1G/100M/10M) with auto-negotiation; Multi-gigabit network interface card for PC is compatible with Windows, Windows Server, VMware, and Linux; Low profile bracket included for hardware compatibility

This 2.5 GbE network interface card (NIC) features an Intel I225-V chipset with Intel vPro technology, to enhance performance and data integrity. The variable multispeed options (2.5/1Gbps and 100/10Mbps) enable support for both new and legacy network hardware. Utilize existing Cat5e or CAT6 cabling infrastructure while adding NBASE-T (802.3bz) compatibility for seamless integration.

Power Over Ethernet

The PCIe Ethernet card supports the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at (Type 1 and Type 2) standards for Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and can deliver up to 48V DC and 25.5W of power to compliant Powered Devices (PD). This flexibility eliminates the need for a separate power supply or Power Over Ethernet injector for remote networked devices such as IP cameras, access control devices, remote kiosks, and wireless access points.

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, FTPs, online or local storage/backup, and the streaming of online content - while reducing network slowdowns. Access up to 2.5GBASE-T speeds using Cat5e (or better) cabling, to maximize existing networks and equipment.

Enhance Existing Hardware

The network interface card connects via an available x1 PCI Express 2.0 (or higher) expansion slot. The card ships in a standard-profile bracket and includes a low-profile bracket for installation into small form factor systems and servers. This ethernet NIC card is compatible with Windows, Windows Server, VMware, and Linux.
