LORDWORLD PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Board (C) for Raspberry Pi 5

SKU CH-BB5T-5C052

Adds a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port to a Raspberry Pi 5 via the 16-pin PCIe interface using an RTL8111H controller, driver-free on Raspberry Pi OS, with a side-mounted acrylic plate

  • Driver-free setup on Raspberry Pi OS with plug-and-play simplicity
  • 10/100/1000 Mbps wired throughput via RTL8111H controller
  • 16-pin PCIe Gen2 link connects directly to Pi 5 edge connector
  • Side-mounted acrylic plate clears top-side add-ons
  • Compact design keeps Pi 5 expansion options open

Raspberry Pi 5 Gigabit Ethernet Board

This PCIe Gigabit Ethernet board is designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5. It connects through the 16-pin PCIe Gen 2 interface using a 16-pin cable. The board uses an RTL8111H controller to provide a 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 port. It operates driver-free with Raspberry Pi OS for immediate plug-and-play functionality.

Makers needing wired gigabit speeds

Builders who want to add a high-performance wired network link to a Raspberry Pi 5 will find this board fits the 16-pin PCIe slot directly. The side-mounting acrylic plate saves vertical space above the main board. Users whose projects rely on the Pi 5's built-in wireless or who have no free PCIe connection should consider other networking options.

RTL8111H controller with 16-pin PCIe Gen 2 link

The onboard RTL8111H chip handles the physical layer and MAC functions for the single RJ45 port. It negotiates 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps speeds over standard twisted-pair cabling. The 16-pin PCIe Gen 2 connection supplies the required bandwidth and signalling for full gigabit throughput. This specific interface and controller combination determines compatibility with the Raspberry Pi 5.

Questions about this item

Does the RTL8111H controller on this board draw enough power to need extra cooling when the Raspberry Pi 5 runs all day?

The board uses a PCIe x1 Gen2 link and the onboard RTL8111H chip; typical Gigabit Ethernet controllers at this speed stay cool without a heatsink in normal indoor use.

What must I already own to connect this board to a Raspberry Pi 5?

You need a Raspberry Pi 5 with its 16-pin PCIe connector and the supplied 16-pin cable; the board plugs directly into that interface.

Will the side-mounted acrylic plate interfere with HATs or the official active cooler I keep on my Pi 5?

The side-mount design keeps the top of the Pi 5 clear, so existing HATs and the official active cooler remain fully accessible.
