2.5 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter
- 2.5 Gbps Networking - 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet reaches blazing-fast data rates up to 2.5 billion bits per second—2.5× faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. For bandwidth-intensive tasks, whether local data transfer or Internet access, the TX201 is up to the task.†
- Versatile Compatibility - With extreme speed and ultra-low latency, 2.5GBase-T is backwards compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, automatically negotiating between higher and lower speed connections.
- Low-Profile and Full-Height Brackets - In addition to the standard bracket, a low-profile bracket is provided for mini tower computer cases. Customized options give you the flexibility to find a bracket that perfectly fits your board design.
- Comprehensive System Support - Fully compatible with Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Windows Servers 2022/2019/2016/2012 R2/2012/2008 R2, Linux.‡
Incredible 2.5G Networking
2.5 Gigabit Ethernet reaches blazing-fast data rates up to 2.5 billion bits per second—2.5× faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. For bandwidth-intensive tasks, whether local data transfer or Internet access, the TX201 is up to the task.
Household Storage, Share in Seconds
For local connections, a 2.5G PCIe adapter helps build a lightning-fast transport channel between a central storage device and other working machines in your local network. Local data transmissions will be a breeze for you as you handle bandwidth-intensive tasks easily at your home or office.
2.5G Extremely Fast Internet Response
With 2.5 Gbps internet access, your gaming will be fully optimised with a large boost in speed, latency, and responsiveness. Large-sized game downloads, seamless live streaming, and massive data backups via the cloud are as easy as choosing your character.
Versatile, Multi-Speed Compatibility
2.5G Base-T is backwards compatible with multiple data rates, including 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps Base-T connectivity. The 2.5G Ethernet port automatically negotiates between higher and lower speed connections, allowing you to upgrade to 2.5G networking smoothly.
QoS Support
Quality of Service technology ensures enough bandwidth and avoids network congestion. Whether streaming or real-time gaming, enjoy a smooth web experience.
