• RoHS Compliant
Maximum Speed Performance
Imagine moving mammoth video, CAD or database files across your home or office network in seconds!
The EN-9250TX-E network adapter for PCs with PCI Express slots offers the latest technology in power
management and Gigabit Ethernet network connectivity capability. Edimax’s EN-9250TX-E’s full
bandwidth capability boasts a robust 2.0Gbps capability through the PCI Express bus architecture.
There’s no need to purchase a new switch or broadband modem because the adapter’s auto-negotiation
feature works with your existing switch, broadband modem, or hub to provide the highest network speed
available (10/100 or 1000 Mbps). The adapter’s automatic full duplex capability further increases
bandwidth and eliminates packet collisions by allowing data to flow in both directions at the same time.
First-class Reliability
Leave your dawdling adapter behind and upgrade to speed and reliability. The EN-9250TX-E’s
exceptional chipset offers increased bandwidth and more functionality than other standard PCI network
adapters. The adapter is specifically designed to carry the full bandwidth capacity of the PCI Express bus
of 2.5 Gbps, thus eliminating collisions and latencies that exist with current 32 and 64 bit PCI bus
architectures.
Ease of Installation & Configuration
The EN-9250TX-E offers ease and flexibility of installation and configuration of the adapter through Plug
& Play technology. Simply place the adapter into the PCI Express slot in your PC and then turn on the
PC; plug-n-play automatically detects the new device. Just follow the prompts on the screen to install the
correct driver and you will be up and running in minutes! The adapter is fully compatible with Ethernet,
Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet networks and the adapter’s 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation ports
eliminate any need for manual switching. Best of all, the adapter is supported by all major operating
systems including Vista and Linux OS.
Superior Power Management Capabilities
Wake up any computer on your network and help save the environment at the same time! The Edimax
EN-9250TX-E provides Wake on LAN (WOL) and reduced power consumption through the active state
power management features. The WON and active state power management features allow
administrators to remotely wake networked computers and to set power consumption rates for periods of
decreased bandwidth demand. The power management feature helps to reduce operating costs by
reducing the amount of energy consumed by the adapter while in operation. In scenarios with multiple
PCs, the hot swapping capability allows you to switch out the network card without ever powering down
the machine.
