Product Features
Technical Overview
This Gigabit Ethernet card implements the 10/100/1000Base-T standard, supporting automatic speed negotiation across all three speed tiers. The dual-port configuration provides independent 1000Mbps connections on each RJ-45 interface, with support for standard Category 5e or higher twisted-pair cabling up to 100 meters.
The PCI Express 2.1 x4 host interface delivers up to 2000MB/s of theoretical bandwidth, ensuring the card doesn't become a bottleneck in high-throughput server environments. This interface compatibility makes the adapter suitable for systems with available PCIe x4, x8, or x16 slots.
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.

FAQ
What systems is this network adapter compatible with?
The Axiom KU004AA-AX is specifically designed for HP server and workstation platforms. It requires a system with an available PCI Express 2.1 x4, x8, or x16 slot. The card is engineered as a direct replacement for OEM HP network cards and ensures proper fit and function in HP server chassis.
What network speeds does this adapter support?
This Gigabit Ethernet card supports 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps (1Gbps) speeds through automatic negotiation. Each of the two RJ-45 ports can independently operate at any of these speeds, providing flexibility for mixed-speed network environments while maintaining backward compatibility with older network equipment.
What type of cabling does this network card require?
The adapter supports standard twisted-pair copper cabling, specifically Category 5e or higher Ethernet cables. These cost-effective cables can extend up to 100 meters (328 feet) while maintaining full 1000Mbps performance. The RJ-45 connectors use standard pinouts compatible with most network infrastructure.
What is the bandwidth capacity of this dual-port card?
The PCI Express 2.1 x4 interface provides up to 2000MB/s of total bandwidth, with each port capable of 1000Mbps (125MB/s) simultaneously. This ensures the card doesn't become a bottleneck in server environments where both ports are actively transferring data at maximum speed.
What are the physical dimensions of this network adapter?
The card measures 5.71 inches in height, 0.71 inches in width, and 2.64 inches in depth (145 x 18 x 67 mm). It weighs approximately 2.88 ounces (81.65 grams).
