5 Gbps PCIe Network Adapter

The BrosTrend 5 Gbps PCIe Network Card P2 adds a 5GBASE-T Ethernet port to any desktop with a free PCI Express slot. It targets users who need faster wired throughput for large file transfers, gaming or streaming on Windows 11, 10 or Windows Server 2022.

Low-profile bracket included

A low-profile bracket is supplied alongside the standard bracket so the card fits small-form-factor cases as well as full-size towers. Driver installation is required from the included disc or the vendor website; the card does not work out of the box on Linux kernels older than 6.9.

Aluminium heatsink for sustained throughput

Dense fins and an aluminium body dissipate heat during continuous 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps or 1 Gbps traffic, keeping performance stable over long sessions. Auto-negotiation drops to 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps only when the link partner cannot handle higher speeds.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the BrosTrend 5 Gbps PCIe Network Card P2 is running at full speed after installation?

The card auto-negotiates between 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps. Check the two LED indicators on the bracket; they show the active link speed so you can confirm 5 Gbps operation.

What comes in the box with the BrosTrend 5 Gbps PCIe Network Card P2 and what must I supply myself?

The package includes the network card, a driver disc, and dual brackets (standard and low-profile). You must provide a Cat6 Ethernet cable for reliable 5 Gbps performance; a high-quality Cat5e cable works only over shorter distances.

Which bracket version should I choose for the BrosTrend 5 Gbps PCIe Network Card P2?

Both brackets are included. Use the standard bracket for full-tower, mid-tower or mini-tower cases. Swap to the low-profile bracket (dimensions 12 cm x 7.3 cm x 1.2 cm) for small form factor PCs.
