Ruth's sister 2.5Gbps Gigabit Ethernet Network Card

2.5 Gbps wired network adapter

This PCIe network card adds a single 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port to a desktop or server. It works with Windows, Linux, ESXi and ROS without proprietary drivers. The adapter is suited for users who need faster wired throughput than standard Gigabit but do not require multi-gigabit switching hardware.

Upgrade from 1 Gbps onboard LAN

The card replaces a motherboard’s built-in 1 Gbps controller when file transfers, backups or virtual-machine traffic exceed that limit. The jump is worth it when the rest of the network — switch, cabling and peer devices — already supports 2.5 Gbps operation.
