Axiom E1G44HT-AX PCIe x4 quad-port 10/100/1000 network card

Quad-port server adapter

The Axiom E1G44HT-AX adds four copper RJ-45 ports over a single PCI Express 2.1 x4 slot. It targets administrators who need extra 10/100/1000Base-T links in a server chassis without consuming multiple expansion slots. The low-profile plug-in card fits standard server form factors and carries a three-year limited warranty from the manufacturer.

Build integration

A single x4 lane connection delivers all four gigabit ports, leaving other PCIe slots free for storage controllers or accelerators. Twisted-pair cabling connects directly to existing Cat5e or Cat6 infrastructure, so no fibre transceivers or media converters are required. The 5.9-inch height and 0.6-inch width keep the card clear of adjacent low-profile brackets in dense 1U or 2U enclosures.

Sustained load behaviour

Each port handles continuous line-rate traffic across all four channels simultaneously, avoiding the bottlenecks that appear when multiple single-port cards share a narrower bus. The x4 interface provides enough upstream bandwidth to keep every port saturated during prolonged file transfers, backup windows or virtual-machine migrations. Heat output stays modest at 3.84 ounces total mass, allowing passive cooling in airflow-managed server bays.
