Keep essential server traffic on a dedicated wired path with this Axiom dual-port RJ45 NIC. Designed for IBM environments, it adds two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections through a PCI Express 2.1 x4 interface, giving infrastructure teams a practical way to expand network access without moving to a higher-cost platform. Dual ports help separate workloads, support redundancy strategies, or connect a server to distinct network segments. The Gigabit speed ceiling is a strong fit for general-purpose server roles, file access, management traffic, and application workloads that do not require 10 GbE. Because it uses standard RJ45 copper connectivity, deployment stays straightforward in existing Ethernet environments. Axiom’s 42C1780-AX is positioned for teams that value compatibility, predictable throughput, and a clean fit into established IBM server fleets. The 3-year limited warranty adds another layer of procurement confidence for long-term infrastructure planning.
