The Gigabit PCI Express Network Card is a high-performance network adapter. It supports the PCI Express bus architecture, which provides faster throughput than the current 32- and 64-bit PCI bus architectures. And there is no need to switch to fibre optic cable - The Intellinet Network Solutions Gigabit PCI Express Network Card allows you to run Gigabit speeds over your existing copper wire network cable. \n \nFaster Throughput \nThe PCI Express host interface supports throughput rates of up to 2 Gbps when running in full duplex mode, ideal for resource-intensive CAD/CAM, client-server database, multimedia, pre-press, advertising graphics, server and mission-critical applications. \n \nAuto-Negotiation \nThe Gigabit PCI Express Network Card will automatically detect the network speed that the LAN switch port is set to and run at the same speed. The card supports 10Base-T Ethernet, 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet and 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet. \n \nFull Duplex \nWhen running in full duplex mode, the Gigabit PCI Express Network Card provides the following throughput rates: 20 Mbps (10Base-T Ethernet), 200 Mbps (100Base-TX Fast Ethernet) and 2 Gbps (1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet). \n \nBuilt-In Diagnostics \nThe Gigabit PCI Express Network Card comes standard with crossover detection and auto correction capabilities that make installation and maintenance a snap. \n \nRemote Power On \nThe Wake-On-LAN feature allows you to power on your desktop PC from anywhere on the network.\n\n- Supports Gigabit speeds over existing network cable\n- Does not require fibre optic cabling to run Gigabit speeds\n- PCI Express 1.0a bus interface fits 1, 4, 8 and 16X PCI-E slots\n- Single PCI Express lane (x1) 2.5 Gbps interface\n- Full duplex flow control (IEEE 802.3x)\n- Supports jumbo frames up to 9 kB\n- Full duplex speeds (20 Mbps, 200 Mbps, 2000 Mbps)\n- Includes low profile 8 cm bracket\n- Wake-On-LAN (WOL) support\n- Supports the most popular operating systems: Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7/8\n- Three-Year Warranty
