Product Features
Technical Overview
This Gigabit Ethernet card utilizes PCI Express 2.1 x4 technology to achieve data transfer rates up to 2000 MB/s between the network adapter and motherboard, significantly reducing network bottlenecks in server environments. The quad-port design provides multiple independent network connections that can be configured for load balancing, failover protection, or dedicated network segmentation.
The 1000Base-T network technology supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds over Category 5e or better twisted pair cabling, with reliable operation at distances up to 100 meters. The card's plug-in card form factor measures 5.91" (150 mm) in height, 0.55" (14 mm) in width, and 2.20" (56 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 3.84 oz (108.86 g).
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.

- 2000 MB/s transfer capability
- Reduces network congestion
- Supports multiple simultaneous connections
Server-Optimized Design
Specifically engineered for server deployment, this card includes both full-height and half-height mounting brackets to accommodate various server chassis configurations and form factors.
- Dual bracket inclusion
- Server device support
- Compact footprint
Deployment / Use Cases
This quad-port Gigabit Ethernet NIC card is ideal for server environments requiring multiple network connections for virtualization hosts, database servers, file servers, or application servers. The four independent ports enable network segmentation, with different ports dedicated to management traffic, storage networks, application traffic, or backup networks.
In virtualized environments, the multiple ports can be assigned to different virtual machines or virtual switches, improving network isolation and performance. For high-availability configurations, ports can be teamed for load balancing or configured for failover protection, ensuring continuous network connectivity during hardware failures or maintenance windows.
Virtualization Hosts
Provide dedicated network connections for different virtual machine types or traffic classes, improving performance and security in virtualized server environments.
Network Segmentation
Separate management, production, backup, and storage traffic onto different physical network interfaces for improved security, monitoring, and performance management.
Physical Profile
The plug-in card form factor measures 5.91" (150 mm) in height, 0.55" (14 mm) in width, and 2.20" (56 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 3.84 oz (108.86 g). This compact design minimizes space requirements within server chassis while providing four full Gigabit Ethernet ports. The included full-height and half-height mounting brackets ensure compatibility with standard server and workstation chassis configurations.
