- PCI Express Gen-3 (or 2) ×4 interface ensures a fast connection to the motherboard
- Integrated QoS technology manages network traffic priority
- Passive heatsink maintains low operating temperatures without producing noise
- Supports Wake-on-LAN technology for remote computer wake-up
- Supports Jumbo Frame packets up to 16KB
- Includes both standard and low-profile mounting brackets
Transfer speed
The device offers full support for the 10G standard, which outperforms standard gigabit ethernet connections by up to ten times. This lets you transfer huge files in a flash, stream 8K video, or play online games with minimal latency. The 10-gigabit RJ-45 port provides sufficient throughput for more demanding network operations in any environment. The bandwidth meets the demands of home offices and small businesses alike.
Backwards compatibility and flexibility
The card supports a wide range of speeds from 100Mbps through 1G, 2.5G, and 5G up to 10Gbps. This means it works seamlessly with older switches and routers in an existing network. Auto-negotiation technology ensures a smooth transition to more modern standards without the need for immediate investment in other components. The adapter fully adapts to the current state of your network infrastructure.
Network traffic management and operating system compatibility
Integrated data flow management features help to optimise bandwidth usage. The system automatically prioritises key network applications over routine background file downloads. Quality of Service technology ensures smooth web browsing, gaming, and streaming on all connected devices at the same time. This prevents unwanted speed fluctuations under heavy load. The card works seamlessly with various versions of Windows and Linux platforms. Driver installation is quick, enabling you to use the adapter immediately after plugging it into the motherboard. Support for Windows and Linux operating systems makes it easy to integrate into gaming computers and specialised servers. It supports Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Linux kernels 3.10, 3.12, 3.20, 4.2 and 4.4.
Passive cooling and flexible mounting options
The metal passive heatsink efficiently dissipates heat from the main chip during intensive network traffic. This effective cooling maintains an optimal operating temperature even under prolonged network interface load. The card operates reliably in a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C. For mounting, two types of mounting plates are provided for installation in different types of computer cases. The pre-installed standard-height bracket is complemented by a low-profile backplate for compact systems. The low-profile bracket simplifies installation in small mini-tower computer cases. The card's weight with the full bracket is only 82g, and without the bracket, it's just 78g.
