Κάρτα δικτύου Exsys EX-60114 4-Port PCIe 2,5 Gigabit

Exsys EX-60114 4-port PCIe 2.5 Gigabit is a multiport network adapter designed to add four independent 2.5 Gbps Ethernet interfaces to desktop PCs, workstations and small servers. The card installs into a standard PCIe slot and provides wired network connectivity at up to 2.5 Gigabit per port using existing copper cabling where supported. It is intended for environments that require increased uplink or aggregation bandwidth for NAS devices, virtualization hosts, media editing stations and networked storage access.

Advantages

The Exsys 4-port adapter delivers higher per-port throughput than standard Gigabit NICs without requiring new fiber or complex infrastructure changes. With four independent 2.5 Gbps ports, it enables link aggregation, multiple VLAN-segmented connections or dedicated links for storage and compute traffic. The PCIe form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of desktop and server motherboards while keeping power and heat within typical consumer and small-business system limits.

Suitable for

• Upgrading a workstation or desktop to faster wired networking for large file transfers
• Providing multiple 2.5 Gbps links for NAS or network-attached storage systems
• Adding separate network interfaces for virtualization hosts and hypervisors
• Increasing throughput for small servers, media editing rigs and home labs

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express x4 (compatible with x8/x16 slots)
• Port count: 4 RJ45 Ethernet ports
• Link speed: up to 2.5 Gbps per port
• Physical medium: twisted-pair copper (supports 2.5GBASE-T over Cat5e/Cat6 where supported)
• Supported features: link aggregation, VLAN tagging, auto-negotiation, full/half duplex support depending on link partner
• Form factor: low-profile bracket compatible (may include standard bracket for full-height slots)

How to use

Power down the host system and insert the network card into an available PCIe slot that meets the card's slot width and power requirements. Secure the bracket to the chassis and connect standard Ethernet cables to the RJ45 ports. After booting the operating system, install any required drivers supplied by the system or the network card vendor, then configure IP addressing, link aggregation or VLANs through the OS network settings or management tools. Verify link speed and connection stability using system network utilities.

Recommendations

To achieve 2.5 Gbps speeds, use cabling and switches that support 2.5GBASE-T. For best results in storage or virtualization setups, dedicate separate ports or use link aggregation for increased throughput and redundancy. Ensure proper airflow around the PCIe slot to maintain stable operating temperatures.
