Highlights: 2Port RJ45 2.5G Network card Intel I226 Chipset PCI-E x4 lane 5GT/s Dual Port RJ45 Cooper 10/100/1000/2.5GBASE-T (TX) Data-Rate Brackets: Full-Height and Low Profile Brackets included PCI Express Intel I226 multi-gigabit Ethernet adapter Supporting mobile, desktop, workstation, value-server, or embedded space-constrained designs. The Intel Ethernet Network Adapter I226-T2 is ideally suited forpersonal computers and workstations used for enterprise, gaming, and home networks. Based on the Intel Ethernet Controller I226, this versatile networking solution supports 2.5Gbps, 1Gbps, 100Mbps and 10Mbps network speeds without the need to overhaul existing cabling infrastructure. These systems require more bandwidth than ever before. he I226-T2 is also designed with a ventilated bracket, for increased efficiency and reduced power consumption. Packed with performance optimization capabilities, the I226-T2 includes advanced interrupt-handling features to reduce CPU overhead. Combining interrupt-handling features with intelligent filtering, ordering, and directing packets to specific queues and cores, enables load-balancing network traffic flows to improve throughput in multi-core platforms. Simplifying technology transitions with autonegotiation between port speeds provides maximum flexibility.
