Green Intel PCIe network card with four RJ45 ports

Intel

Intel E1G44ET2 network card 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 4 x RJ45

SKU CH-SM6V-DSYFV

A quad-port Gigabit Ethernet adapter with PCI Express connectivity for server virtualization workloads

  • Four RJ45 ports deliver 10/100/1000 Mbps wired connectivity
  • PCI Express interface provides direct server-grade throughput
  • Intel VT for Connectivity offloads virtualization I/O overhead
  • VMDq hardware queues isolate VM traffic for lower latency
  • Intel I/OAT accelerates data movement across the bus

Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet adapter

The Intel E1G44ET2 provides four independent RJ45 ports that each negotiate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps over a single PCI-Express slot. It is built for servers and workstations that need multiple wired links without occupying additional expansion slots.

Suited for multi-network hosts.

Virtualisation hosts benefit from hardware assists such as Virtual Machine Device Queues and I/O Acceleration Technology, which lower CPU overhead when many virtual machines share the physical ports. Desktop users who only require one Gigabit connection will find a single-port adapter simpler and more cost-effective.

Four RJ45 ports on one PCI-Express card

The decisive specification is the quad-port layout: one card delivers four separate Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, so the buying decision rests on whether the system needs that port density in a single slot.

Questions about this item

How often should the four RJ45 ports on the Intel E1G44ET2 be inspected for dust or wear?

The four RJ45 ports are passive copper interfaces with no moving parts; a visual check during routine server cleaning is sufficient.

Which resource saturates first when all four ports run at 1000Mbps continuously?

The PCI Express bus and the host CPU handle the aggregate throughput; the adapter itself supports line-rate on every port.

What heat output should I expect from the Intel E1G44ET2 when all ports are active all day?

The card is a standard-profile, passively cooled server adapter designed for continuous operation inside a chassis with normal airflow.
