2.5GBASE-T PCIe Network Adapter

The TRENDnet TEG-25GECTX converts a free PCI Express slot into a 2.5GBASE-T Ethernet port. It includes both standard and low-profile brackets for different chassis types. Windows® desktop operating systems are supported.

Builders adding 2.5G wired networking

This adapter suits builders who want to upgrade a desktop to 2.5GBASE-T without replacing the motherboard. It also fits compact systems thanks to the included low-profile bracket. Buyers needing fibre connectivity or a different port count should look elsewhere.

IEEE 802.3bz compliant 2.5GBASE-T port

The single specification that decides fit is the 2.5GBASE-T Ethernet port compliant with IEEE 802.3bz. It also supports 802.1Q VLAN tagging and up to 9KB jumbo frames. NDAA and TAA compliance applies for U.S. and Canada procurement.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.5GBASE-T speed mean for my desktop?

It adds a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port over a PCIe slot, so large file transfers and backups run at up to 2.5 Gbps instead of the usual 1 Gbps limit.

Which PCIe standard does the card use and what bandwidth ceiling does that create?

The adapter plugs into a standard PCI Express slot; the 2.5GBASE-T port itself caps throughput at 2.5 Gbps regardless of the slot generation.

Will the included brackets let me install it in a slim case?

Yes, both a full-height and a low-profile bracket are supplied so the card fits standard and slim chassis alike.
