SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 4-Port Gigabit PCIe Ethernet Network Card Realtek Quad RJ45

SKU CH-F26G-JYGCB

Adds four independent gigabit RJ45 ports via a PCIe x1 slot with Realtek controller, aluminum heatsink, VLAN tagging, jumbo frames and Wake-on-LAN for desktop or server expansion

  • Four independent gigabit ports for simultaneous multi-network connections
  • Realtek controller with auto-negotiation up to 1000 Mbps per port
  • PCIe x1 interface fits x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots
  • Aluminium heatsink keeps card stable under sustained multi-port load
  • Full-height and low-profile brackets included for ATX or slim chassis

Four-port Gigabit PCIe network card

This SMUGDESK adapter adds four independent RJ45 ports to a desktop PC, NAS or small rack server through a single PCIe x1 slot. Each port negotiates 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds over Cat5e or Cat6 cable up to 100 metres. A solid aluminium heatsink keeps the Realtek controller stable during sustained multi-port loads.

Suits multi-network setups

Ideal for soft routing, link aggregation or adding segregated VLANs without occupying multiple slots. Low-profile and full-height brackets are both supplied for ATX or slim chassis. Builders who need fibre uplinks or more than four copper ports should look at something else.

Single PCIe x1 lane carries all four gigabit links

The x1 interface limits aggregate throughput to the lane bandwidth, so concurrent full-line-rate traffic on every port is constrained by that single connection. Buyers who require full wire-speed on all ports simultaneously need a card with a wider PCIe link.

Questions about this item

What cables and brackets come with the SMUGDESK 4-port PCIe card, and is anything else required?

The card includes a full-height bracket and a low-profile half-height bracket. Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables up to 100 m are needed for each RJ45 connection and are not supplied.

Which PCIe slot should I use for the quad-port Realtek adapter?

The card uses a standard PCIe x1 interface and fits into x1, x4, x8 or x16 motherboard slots, so any available PCIe slot will work.

What does the 1000 Mbps rating mean when all four ports are active?

Each RJ45 port negotiates 10/100/1000 Mbps independently, so all four can run at full gigabit speed simultaneously with the built-in heatsink keeping the Realtek controller stable.
