Dual 2.5 Gigabit M.2 NIC

This Vszerda card adds two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports through an M.2 M+B key slot. It suits compact desktops, mini PCs and thin clients that lack built-in multi-gigabit networking. The adapter is new and designed for internal mounting in small-form-factor systems.

Sustained throughput

Dual-channel operation with full-duplex communication maintains up to 2500 Mbps per port under continuous load. The controller complies with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab and supports 802.1Q VLAN tagging. Driver packages cover Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, 98SE, ME and Linux.

Compatibility check

Verify the host has a free M.2 slot wired for M+B key PCIe signalling. Confirm the chassis can accept either the 12 cm or 8 cm profile bracket included in the package. Ensure the operating system in use appears on the supported list above.

Questions about this item

Does the Vszerda dual 2.5 Gigabit card run hot or draw much power during continuous use?

The adapter is a passive PCIe expansion board with no active cooling, so it adds minimal heat and power draw inside the chassis.

What slot and key type must my motherboard provide for this M.2 Ethernet adapter?

It installs in an M.2 slot that accepts M+B key modules and includes both 12 cm and 8 cm brackets for standard or low-profile cases.

Will the 2.5 Gbps ports negotiate down to my older 1 GbE switch and cabling?

Yes, the controller supports 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps auto-negotiation, so it works with existing Cat5e or Cat6 infrastructure.
