Build cleaner edge deployments with a network card that does more than move packets. The StarTech ST1000PEXPSE installs in a PCI Express x1 slot and brings 2.5 Gbps Ethernet performance together with Power over Ethernet support, including up to 30 W PSE and 25.5 W PD. That combination is valuable when you need to connect and power devices without adding separate injectors or extra cabling. For infrastructure teams, this kind of card helps reduce clutter at the endpoint while keeping installation straightforward. It is well suited to compact servers, industrial PCs, kiosks, and other systems where space is limited but network and power requirements remain strict. The higher-speed 2.5 Gbps link also gives you more headroom than standard Gigabit adapters when the upstream network can support it. Choose this card when you want a single-slot solution that supports modern PoE deployments and faster access to edge devices. It is a practical way to simplify installs, reduce accessory count, and keep critical endpoints online with fewer moving parts.
