2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card

The Vszerda SI-PEX24059 adds a single 10/100/1000/25000 Mbps RJ45 port to any desktop PC through a PCI Express slot. It complies with IEEE 802.3 standards and supports 802.1Q VLAN tagging for managed network environments.

Fits standard and low-profile builds

The card installs in any PCIe x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 socket and ships with both a 12 cm full-height bracket and an 8 cm low-profile bracket for small form-factor cases. It is not compatible with legacy PCI slots, so systems limited to that interface cannot use it.

Broad OS support for quick deployment

Drivers are provided for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, 98SE, ME and Linux, plus Mac OS 10.7 for Mac Pro towers. The package includes the card, a driver disc and the low-profile bracket so the adapter is ready to install without extra parts.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a free PCI Express x1 slot for the SI-PEX24059?

Yes, the card fits any PCIe x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 socket but will not work in a legacy PCI slot.

Can I keep my existing 1000 Mbps switch when I add this 2.5 Gigabit card?

The adapter negotiates down to 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps automatically, so your current switch will work at its rated speed.

How do I verify the card is running at 2.5 Gigabit after installing the driver?

Check the link speed in the OS network status or the LED on the RJ45 port; both will show 25000 Mbps when connected to a 2.5 GbE switch.
