Dual-Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

This C&N network card adds two RJ45 ports through a PCIe x4 slot using the Intel I350-T2 controller. It targets servers and workstations that need extra wired links for virtualisation, iSCSI storage or failover configurations. The board supports Windows client and server releases, several Linux distributions, FreeBSD and VMware ESXi.

Low-Profile PCIe x4 Build

The card fits a PCI Express 2.1 lane at 2.5 or 5 GT/s and is mechanically compatible with x8 and x16 slots. A low-profile bracket is included for shallow chassis. Two copper RJ45 connectors provide link and activity LEDs, while Wake-on-LAN and PXE boot let administrators manage remote power-up and network installation.

Gigabit Speed Ceiling

Each port tops out at 1000 megabytes per second under the IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard, so aggregate throughput cannot exceed two gigabits per second. The PCIe 2.1 x4 interface supplies enough bandwidth for both ports at line rate, but the adapter cannot accelerate beyond single-gigabit links or provide 2.5G or 10G connectivity.

Questions about this item

What does the PCIe x4 interface at 2.5 GT/s or 5 GT/s limit the dual 1 GbE ports to in practice?

Each port runs at up to 1 Gbps full duplex; the x4 link provides enough bandwidth for both ports simultaneously without bottleneck.

What bracket and slot clearance does the card need to fit?

It uses a low-profile bracket and fits in any PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot; the board measures 125.0 in x 55.0 in x 18.0 in.

How is the card installed, and what step do people often miss?

Insert into a PCIe slot, secure the low-profile bracket, attach both RJ45 cables, then enable PXE or SR-IOV in the system BIOS before installing the OS driver.
