Each port offers up to 5 Gbps over copper (RJ-45) using the Realtek RTL8126 chip, with support for 5G/2.5G/1G/100M/10M speeds via NBASE-T auto-negotiation.
It enables 5Gbps over Cat6 cable and 2.5Gbps over Cat5e over typical distances, leveraging existing cabling without the need to upgrade to Cat7/Cat8.
It connects via PCI Express (x4 physical, x4/x8/x16 compatible) and comes as an internal NIC with two RJ-45 ports in a standard bracket, including a low-profile bracket for SFF enclosures.
It is a wired solution aimed at both desktops and small/medium servers requiring additional multi-gigabit links.
Windows and Linux compatible, with no proprietary hardware required; the commercial reference specifically highlights TAA compliant status, useful in government or strict compliance projects.
Supports common modern NIC features: full-duplex, VLAN tagging, jumbo frames and speed autonegotiation, suitable for NAS, lightweight virtualisation, network backup or high-speed links between devices.
