Green PCI Express card with four RJ45 ports and metal bracket

Intel

Intel EXPI9404PT PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Switch Module

SKU CH-VCBN-V3VK0

Provides four Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports over a PCI Express interface for server connectivity

  • Four RJ-45 ports deliver Gigabit throughput to each server link
  • PCI Express host interface provides high-bandwidth connection to the motherboard
  • 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation matches mixed-speed network infrastructure
  • Low-profile plug-in card fits standard server chassis dimensions
  • Intel PROSet utility simplifies installation and ongoing adapter management

Quad-port Gigabit server adapter

The Intel EXPI9404PT is a PCI Express card that adds four RJ-45 ports to a server or workstation. Each port auto-negotiates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps for mixed-speed infrastructure. The plug-in form factor fits a standard low-profile bracket. It targets administrators who need multiple copper links from a single slot.

Sustained multi-port throughput

With four independent 1000Base-T interfaces the adapter can move traffic on all ports simultaneously without sharing a single MAC. The PCI Express host interface provides enough bandwidth to keep each link near wire speed during prolonged transfers. Drivers include Intel PROSet for teaming and VLAN configuration under continuous load.

Compatibility checklist

Verify the host has a free PCI Express slot and that the chassis can accept a card measuring 4.7 inches by 5.1 inches with a thickness of 850 mil. Confirm the operating system supports the PRO/1000 PT driver stack before ordering. Buyers who need fibre uplinks or more than four copper ports should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the four-port adapter draw enough power to need extra cooling when it runs at 1000 Mbps all day?

The card is a passive plug-in module with no fan; it relies on chassis airflow and the 850 mil thickness fits standard low-profile brackets.

What slot type must the server motherboard provide for this quad-port card?

It requires a PCI Express slot; the bracket measures 4.7 inches high by 5.1 inches deep.

Will the 10/100/1000Base-T ports negotiate correctly with older 10 Mbps switches we still use?

Yes, each RJ-45 port auto-negotiates down to 10 Mbps for legacy infrastructure.
