Technical Overview
Built around the Intel I350-T2 controller, this network adapter implements advanced features including TCP/UDP/IP checksum offloading, large send offload, and interrupt moderation to optimize server performance. The dual-port design allows for network teaming configurations, failover setups, or simple port expansion without requiring additional PCIe slots.
The card supports standard 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet over Category 5e or better twisted pair cabling, with automatic speed and duplex negotiation. Each port delivers full Gigabit throughput with hardware-accelerated packet processing that maintains low latency even under heavy network loads.
Relevant factors for this section include Host Interface, Total Number of Ports, Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This network adapter combines enterprise-grade hardware with practical deployment features that benefit server administrators and IT professionals. The Intel chipset provides proven reliability and driver support across multiple operating systems, while the compact form factor fits standard server chassis without clearance issues.
Hardware Offload Efficiency
The Intel I350-T2 controller handles TCP/UDP/IP checksum calculations and segmentation offloading directly on the NIC, reducing CPU overhead and improving overall server performance during network-intensive operations.
- Reduces CPU utilization
- Improves packet processing efficiency
- Maintains consistent throughput
Dual-Port Flexibility
Two independent Gigabit ports enable multiple deployment scenarios including load balancing, failover configurations, or simple network expansion without requiring additional PCIe slots in your server.
- Supports teaming configurations
- Enables redundancy setups
- Maximizes slot utilization
Deployment / Use Cases
This dual-port Gigabit Ethernet card is specifically designed for server environments where reliable, high-bandwidth network connectivity is critical. The PCIe x4 interface provides sufficient bandwidth for both ports to operate simultaneously at full Gigabit speeds, making it suitable for virtualization hosts, database servers, file servers, and application servers that require consistent network performance.
In practical deployment scenarios, this adapter can serve as primary network connectivity for single-server installations, additional ports for network segmentation, or redundant connections for high-availability configurations. The server-focused design ensures compatibility with rack-mounted systems and tower servers where space constraints and thermal considerations are important factors.
Server Network Expansion
Add two additional Gigabit ports to servers that require more network interfaces for virtualization, storage networking, or network segmentation without replacing existing hardware.
High-Availability Configurations
Implement network teaming or failover setups using the dual-port design to maintain network connectivity during cable or switch failures in critical server environments.
Physical Profile
The compact plug-in card measures 5.71 inches in height, 0.71 inches in width, and 2.64 inches in depth, with a weight of approximately 2.88 ounces. This low-profile design fits standard server chassis and tower systems without interfering with adjacent components or cooling airflow. The bracket-mounted RJ-45 connectors provide secure cable connections that withstand server rack installation and maintenance procedures.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 5.71" (145 mm), 0.71" (18 mm), 2.64" (67 mm), 2.88 oz (81.65 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What type of server systems is this network adapter compatible with?
This dual-port Gigabit Ethernet card is designed for server deployment and compatible with systems that have available PCI Express x4 slots. It works with standard server platforms running supported operating systems, though specific compatibility should be verified against your server manufacturer's specifications and available driver support for your operating system environment.
Does this NIC support network teaming or bonding configurations?
Yes, the dual-port design with Intel I350-T2 chipset supports various teaming configurations including load balancing and failover setups. The specific teaming modes available depend on your operating system's driver capabilities and network configuration tools, but the hardware provides the necessary foundation for implementing redundant or aggregated network connections.
What is the maximum data transfer rate per port?
Each RJ-45 port supports up to 1000Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) data transfer rates when connected to compatible network equipment using Category 5e or better twisted pair cabling. The ports automatically negotiate speed with connected devices, supporting 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps operation depending on network conditions and equipment capabilities.
What type of PCIe slot does this card require?
This network adapter requires a PCI Express x4 slot for proper operation. It is physically compatible with PCIe x4, x8, and x16 slots, but requires the electrical connectivity of at least an x4 interface to provide sufficient bandwidth for simultaneous dual-port Gigabit operation without performance bottlenecks.
What is included with the warranty coverage?
The product comes with a 3-year limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use conditions. Warranty service typically involves repair or replacement of defective units, though specific terms and procedures should be confirmed with the manufacturer or reseller at the time of purchase for complete details.
Can this card be used in workstation or desktop computers?
While primarily designed for server deployment, this network adapter can technically function in workstation or desktop systems with available PCI Express x4 slots and proper driver support. However, its feature set and optimization are specifically targeted toward server environments where hardware offload capabilities and dual-port configurations provide the most benefit for network-intensive applications.
