FAQ
What type of server is this network card compatible with?
The Axiom FX527AV-AX is specifically designed and validated for HP server compatibility. It's optimized for integration with HP server systems that have available PCI Express 1.1 x1 slots, though compatibility with other server brands may vary depending on chassis dimensions and slot availability.
What network speeds does this Ethernet card support?
This network interface card supports the 10/100/1000Base-T standard, which means it can automatically negotiate between 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) Ethernet speeds. The maximum theoretical throughput is 1000 Mbps when connected to compatible Gigabit network infrastructure.
What type of cable does this NIC require for connectivity?
The card requires standard twisted pair Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors, specifically Category 5e, Category 6, or higher-rated cables for optimal Gigabit performance. These cost-efficient copper cables support data transmission distances up to 100 meters between the server and network switch.
How many network ports does this adapter provide?
This is a single-port network interface card featuring one RJ-45 Ethernet port. The total port count is one, making it ideal for adding dedicated network connectivity rather than multi-port aggregation scenarios. The single-port design simplifies configuration while providing focused network expansion.
What is the physical size of this network card?
The card measures 3.94 inches in height, 0.55 inches in width, and 2.17 inches in depth (100 × 14 × 55 mm), with a weight of approximately 1.44 ounces (40.82 grams). These compact dimensions ensure compatibility with standard server chassis while maintaining a low-profile plug-in card form factor.
