The PR22GIP-NETWORK-CARD network card from Startech is a wired PCI Express adapter featuring dual Ethernet LAN ports with RJ45 connectivity and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support, delivering speeds up to 2.5 Gbps. Equipped with dual Intel I225-V chipsets and Intel vPro technology, this card offers advanced performance and enhanced data integrity, compatible with variable speeds of 2.5/1 Gbps and 100/10 Mbps to ensure interoperability with both current network devices and legacy infrastructure based on CAT5e or CAT6 cabling. Its support for the NBASE-T (802.3bz) standard increases flexibility in mixed network environments and maximizes existing installations. Thanks to compatibility with PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at, Type 1 and 2), it can supply up to 25.5 W and 48 V DC per port to powered devices (PD), eliminating the need for separate power supplies for IP cameras, wireless access points, or remote devices distributed across the network. Internal connection is via a PCI Express x2.0 or higher slot, with preinstalled standard support and low-profile bracket compatibility for installation in compact systems or servers. Additionally, this card supports Windows, Windows Server, VMware, and Linux operating systems, offering advanced features such as PXE boot, Wake-on-LAN (WoL), VLAN tagging, jumbo frames up to 9K, and full-duplex operation. The inclusion of Intel vPro technology enables remote management and enterprise-level troubleshooting. Its black design and dual physical PCI Express and LAN connections provide a robust solution to enhance connectivity and bandwidth in professional environments requiring intensive data transfer, network backups, streaming, or FTP services. In summary, this Startech PCIe Ethernet card is a technical and versatile option to expand or upgrade network infrastructure with PoE support, delivering high speed and advanced features without compromising compatibility or efficiency.
