Move beyond single-gig constraints with a dual-port 2.5 GbE adapter designed for systems that need more headroom without a full platform refresh. The StarTech PR22GI-NETWORK-CARD pairs Intel I225-V networking silicon with PCI Express 2.0 x2 connectivity, giving you two 2.5GBASE-T ports for higher-throughput access, storage, and workstation traffic. This card is built for practical enterprise use. Auto-negotiation supports 2.5G, 1G, 100M, and 10M links, while NBASE-T compatibility helps it fit mixed-speed environments. PXE boot, 9K jumbo frames, VLAN tagging, Wake-on-LAN, and QoS support make it suitable for managed deployments where boot control, segmentation, and traffic prioritization matter. LED indicators and a LAN transformer help with link visibility and signal integrity. The included low-profile bracket extends compatibility with compact chassis, and support for Windows, VMware, and Linux simplifies standardization across mixed fleets. For teams replacing aging adapters or adding multi-gig access to a workstation, this model delivers the port density and feature set that justify a higher-spec network card.
