Gigabit PCIe network card

The AddOn EXPI9301CT-AO is a PCI-Express x4 network interface card that delivers 10/100/1000Base-T connectivity through a single RJ-45 port. It is built on the Intel 82574 chipset and complies with IEEE 802.3 standards. The card targets desktop, server and workstation users who need a reliable wired gigabit link.

Low-profile and full-height brackets included

The board measures 6.0 in x 7.25 in x 1.5 in and weighs .38 lb, shipping with both full-height and low-profile brackets so it fits standard and slim chassis alike. A single copper RJ-45 connector supports patch cables up to 100 m, making daily cable routing straightforward in racks or desk-side towers.

1 GbE ceiling on copper

The interface tops out at 1000Base-T, so throughput cannot exceed 1 Gbps regardless of the switch or cable category used. The PCIe x4 electrical connection provides ample bus bandwidth, but the RJ-45 PHY remains the hard limit. Buyers needing multi-gigabit or fibre uplinks must look beyond this card.

Questions about this item

What speed does the PCIe x4 interface cap the EXPI9301CT-AO at in practice?

The card runs at 10/100/1000Base-T so the practical ceiling is 1 GbE over copper, not the PCIe x4 bus limit.

Which bracket heights are included so the EXPI9301CT-AO fits my chassis?

Both full-height and low-profile brackets ship in the box, covering 6.0 in x 7.25 in x 1.5 in form factors.

What driver step do people miss when installing the EXPI9301CT-AO on Windows or Linux?

After seating the card and attaching the RJ-45 cable, install the Intel 82574 driver before enabling VLAN filtering.
