Dual-Port Gigabit PCIe Adapter

The StarTech ST1000SPEXD4 adds two RJ-45 ports to a desktop, server or workstation through a single PCI Express slot. It runs at 10, 100 or 1000Mbps and supports jumbo frames up to 9K. A low-profile bracket is included for small-form-factor chassis.

Suitable for multi-homed servers

This card suits administrators who need separate LAN segments, link aggregation or a management interface on the same host. It is not for systems that lack a free PCI Express slot or that require fibre or wireless connectivity.

PCI Express 2.0 interface

The adapter complies with the PCI Express 2.0 specification and remains backward compatible with 1.0a and 1.1 slots. This single detail determines whether the card will function in a given motherboard.

Questions about this item

How do I install the ST1000SPEXD4 and which bracket should I use?

Insert the card into a PCI Express x1 or wider slot, secure it with the standard bracket already fitted, or swap to the included low-profile bracket for half-height cases before fastening the screw.

What maintenance or replacement will the ST1000SPEXD4 need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; keep the driver up to date via the vendor website and replace the card only if a port fails or you need faster than 1000 Mbps links.

What limit appears first under sustained load on the ST1000SPEXD4?

Each RJ-45 port tops out at 1000 Mbps, so the Gigabit Ethernet PHY is the bottleneck long before the PCI Express 2.0 interface saturates.
