Description:
The TP-LINK card is a 2.5 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter delivering blazing-fast data rates of up to 2.5 billion bits per second, 2.5 times faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. For bandwidth-intensive tasks, whether local data transfer or Internet access, it enables 2.5 Gbps NAS connections with lightning-fast local data transmissions, 2.5 Gbps host server building for a powerful server, and full use of high-speed Internet access. With extreme speed and ultra-low latency, 2.5GBase-T is backwards compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, automatically negotiating between higher and lower speed connections, allowing you to upgrade to 2.5G networking smoothly. With 2.5 Gbps internet access, gaming is fully optimised with a large boost in speed, latency, and responsiveness, while large-sized game downloads, seamless live streaming, and massive data backups via the cloud become effortless. Quality of Service technology ensures enough bandwidth and avoids network congestion for a smooth web experience whether streaming or gaming in real time. In addition to the standard bracket, a low-profile bracket is provided for mini tower computer cases, with customized options giving you the flexibility to find a bracket that perfectly fits your board design. Wake on LAN remotely powers on or off your computer, good for centralized management, and simple software installation with the intuitive utility on the provided CD makes setup easy.
