Axagon 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-E Card

The Axagon PCEE‑G25 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PCI‑E Card features a PCIe x1 interface powered by the Realtek RTL8125B chipset, delivering ultra‑fast 2.5 Gbps wired connectivity while remaining backward compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbps networks. It supports key networking standards like IEEE 802.3bz, checksum offload (IPv4/IPv6/TCP/UDP), VLAN tagging, full-duplex 802.3x flow control, Wake-on‑LAN, power-efficient energy saving and includes both full‑height and low‑profile brackets for versatile desktop installation.

PCEE-G25 PCIe 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet

PCI-Express network card with 2.5 Gbit/s transmission rate and PXE support.

AXAGON PCEE-G25 PCI-Express network card adds high speed 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connection to your desktop computer. Backward compatible with Gigabit and 10/100Base-T networks.

The network card is equipped with Realtek RTL8125B chipset. It ensures seamless compatibility with most operating systems. The LAN Adaptor supports network boot (PXE) and also Realtek Dragon Software for settings management and automatic bandwidth control.

2.5G Ethernet network card expands the computer with a very fast network connection, adds the missing RJ-45 connector, add another network card or replaces the original defunct network connection. The advantage of the IEEE 802.3bz standard is that common Cat 5e and Cat 6 Ethernet cables up to 100 m long can be used for speed of 2.5 Gb/s.

In addition to an Adaptor with a standard size bracket, the package also includes a low profile bracket which allows the mounting into low profile cases.
