Adattatore di rete Exsys EX-60112 PCIe 2,5 Gigabit, dual-port

The Exsys EX-60112 PCIe 2.5 Gigabit dual-port network adapter is a compact card that adds two 2.5GBase-T RJ45 Ethernet interfaces to a desktop or server via a PCIe slot. It is intended for users who need faster-than-1GbE wired connectivity while retaining compatibility with existing Ethernet infrastructure. The adapter supports typical desktop and server form factors and is suitable for upgrading network throughput for tasks such as high-resolution media streaming, fast file transfers across local networks, and improved responsiveness for networked applications.

Advantages

The adapter provides two independent 2.5 Gigabit ports that deliver increased bandwidth compared with standard Gigabit Ethernet, enabling improved transfer speeds on compatible networks. Its PCIe interface offers plug-in installation into available PCIe slots without requiring external power connections. Backward compatibility with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ensures the card works with a wide range of switches and cabling. The dual-port design allows link aggregation or separate network segmentation for varied networking needs.

Suitable for

• Upgrading desktop or workstation network speeds to 2.5 Gbps
• Small office or home office environments needing higher throughput for file sharing
• Media streaming and local content servers requiring stable multi-gigabit connections
• Network segmentation, virtualization hosts, or systems needing multiple physical interfaces

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express (PCIe) expansion card
• Ports: Dual RJ45 Ethernet ports
• Supported speeds: 2.5 Gbps and backward compatible with 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps, 10 Mbps
• Connector type: Standard 8P8C (RJ45) with support for copper cabling
• Support for link aggregation and multiple independent network links
• Typical low-profile bracket compatibility for compact chassis (verify chassis slot availability)

How to use

Power down the computer and unplug it from the mains. Open the computer case, locate an available PCIe slot that matches the card’s form factor, and insert the adapter into the slot until it is firmly seated. Secure the card with the case screw or bracket as appropriate and close the case. Reconnect power and boot the system. Install any required drivers provided by the operating system or the card manufacturer to enable full functionality and performance at 2.5 Gbps. Connect Ethernet cables to the RJ45 ports and configure network settings or link aggregation in the host operating system or switch if needed.

Recommendations

Use quality Cat5e (short runs) or Cat6/Cat6a cabling for reliable 2.5 Gbps performance and verify switch or router compatibility. When deploying both ports for aggregated throughput, configure link aggregation settings consistently on both the host and the network switch. Ensure adequate airflow in the chassis to maintain stable operation under sustained heavy network load.
