Microconnect MC-PCIE-82574L scheda di rete interna Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s

The MicroConnect MC-PCIE-82574L is an internal PCIe network card that provides wired Gigabit Ethernet connectivity (up to 1000 Mbit/s) for desktop systems. Based on the Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet controller, the adapter delivers stable throughput with low power consumption in a compact, low-profile design suitable for enhancing network capabilities in PCs and entry-level server setups.

Advantages

The card supports auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds and uses the dedicated PCIe I/O bus to maintain full bandwidth capacity. Built around the low-power Intel 82574L controller, it offers reliable performance, low energy use, and compatibility with teaming and other advanced features that allow use in both desktop and basic server environments.

Suitable for

• Upgrading desktop PCs with wired Gigabit Ethernet
• Small office or home office networking
• Entry-level server network connectivity and redundancy (teaming)
• Systems requiring a compact, low-profile internal network adapter
