2.5Gbps 2.5GBASE-T PCIe Network Card
Product ID: ST2GPEX
This single-port 2.5Gbps PCIe network card offers a versatile and low-cost way to deploy 2.5GbE network
connectivity. It adds one copper Ethernet port to your server or desktop computer and provides Multi-
Gigabit Ethernet access to your network at four speeds: 2.5 Gbps, 1G, 100Mbps, 10Mbps.
Cost-Effective Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Solution
The 2.5GBASE-T NIC provides additional bandwidth using your existing Ethernet infrastructure to help
reduce the cost of cabling upgrades. The card enables you to connect to 2.5GBASE-T and NBASE-T
equipment at network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps over your CAT5e cabling (up to 100
m depending on the network configuration).
Optimal Technology for Optimal Performance
The network adapter card adds one Ethernet port to your workstation through a x4 PCIe slot. It
features 2.5GBASE-T technology, supporting advanced Multi-Gigabit systems, including Cisco campus
switches and Aruba Networks access points. The network card also supports NBASE-T and additional
features including 16K Jumbo Frames, Auto-MDIX and Wake-on-LAN (WoL).
