Six-port 2.5 Gbps PCIe x4 adapter

This Vszerda network card adds six 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports through a single PCIe x4 slot. It uses a Realtek RTL8125B controller and is supplied with a driver CD and manual. The board weighs 0.215 kg and fits standard desktop chassis.

Suits multi-device wired setups

Builders who need several 2.5 Gbps links for NAS units, gaming consoles or workstations will find the six ports convenient. Systems without a free PCIe x4 slot or users who only need a single 2.5 Gbps connection should consider a simpler adapter.

Realtek RTL8125B chipset

The RTL8125B controller drives all six ports at 2.5 Gbps and provides driver support for Windows and Linux. Verifying that your operating system includes or can load the Realtek driver is the key step before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the x4 card run at 2.5 Gbps per port in an older PCIe 2.0 slot?

The card uses a PCIe x4 interface and the Realtek RTL 8125B chipset supports 2.5 Gbps on each of the six ports; in a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot the lane bandwidth is sufficient for full line rate on all ports.

How can I verify all six 2.5 Gbps ports are active after installation?

Open Device Manager or run ethtool on Linux; each port should show a 2.5 Gbps link speed and the Realtek RTL 8125B driver version, confirming the chipset is driving all six interfaces.

Does the box include cables or brackets for the six ports?

The package contains a CD driver and a user manual only; Ethernet cables and any low-profile bracket must be purchased separately.
