SKU CH-8NBS-RR5HF MPN QXG2G2TI225

Dual-port 2.5GbE network card adds two high-speed Ethernet connections to a PC or server

  • Dual-port design doubles available 2.5GbE bandwidth
  • Four-speed auto-negotiation ensures broad switch compatibility
  • PCIe 3.0 x4 interface provides ample headroom for both ports
  • Low-profile bracket included fits compact server chassis
  • Best-seller rank 79 reflects strong installer confidence

Dual-Port 2.5GbE Network Card

The QNAP QXG-2G2T-I225 adds two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports through a single PCIe slot. It is designed for servers and workstations that need extra wired bandwidth without using multiple expansion slots.

Suited for 2.5GbE infrastructure

This card fits environments already running 2.5GbE switches or routers. It is not for networks limited to 1GbE where the higher speed cannot be used, nor for builds requiring fibre connectivity or more than two ports.

PCIe 3.0 x4 interface

The card connects via a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, which determines whether the host system can support the full throughput of both ports. Verify that your motherboard or riser provides this slot type before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the Intel I225 controller on this dual-port 2.5GbE card need a firmware update later?

The Intel I225 controller may receive driver or firmware updates from Intel; apply them through your OS or Qnap support page to maintain compatibility and fix errata.

What throughput ceiling appears first when both 2.5GbE ports run at full load continuously?

The PCIe lane allocation and host bus bandwidth set the practical ceiling when both 2.5 GbE ports are saturated for long periods.

How much extra heat and power does the QXG2G2TI225 add when it runs all day at 2.5 GbE line rate?

The low-profile card draws modest power from the PCIe slot and runs passively cooled, so added heat and noise inside the chassis stay minimal.
