HP Intel I225V 406L9AA Single Port 2.5GbE PCIe NIC

Raise wired throughput on systems that need more than 1 GbE but do not require a full 10GbE design. The HP Intel I225V Single Port 2.5GbE adapter is a PCIe network interface card built around Intel’s I225V controller, giving compatible desktops and workstations a straightforward path to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet. For infrastructure teams, 2.5GbE is often the practical upgrade point: faster than legacy gigabit, easier to absorb into existing cabling and switching, and well matched to client access, imaging, backup, and local file transfer workloads. This adapter is suited to environments where you want measurable performance gains without the cost and power profile of higher-speed NICs. Because it is a single-port design, it keeps the footprint focused and the deployment simple. That matters in systems where expansion space is limited or where the goal is to standardize a reliable wired interface across a fleet. HP branding and Intel silicon add confidence for procurement teams looking for a known vendor path into higher-speed Ethernet. For organizations balancing cost, compatibility, and throughput, this adapter delivers a clean upgrade from standard gigabit networking.
