DeLOCK PCI Express x1 Card to 1 x RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN i225 NBASE-T Low Profile

The DeLOCK PCI Express x1 Card provides a single RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN port based on the Intel i225 NBASE-T chipset. The card supports wired Ethernet connections over a PCI Express x1 slot and delivers a maximum data transfer rate of up to 2500 Mbit/s. Its low profile form factor is suitable for compact desktop systems and small form factor PCs.

Advantages

The NBASE-T capable i225 chipset enables automatic negotiation of standard Ethernet speeds including 1 Gbit/s and 2.5 Gbit/s over conventional network cabling, allowing higher throughput without replacing existing cables. The card installs in a PCI Express x1 slot and offers stable wired connectivity with recognized IEEE networking standards (IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.3).

How to use

Power off the computer and open the case. Insert the card into an available PCI Express x1 slot and secure it to the chassis using the bracket screw. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port and close the case. Power on the system and install any required drivers for the Intel i225 chipset if the operating system does not provide native support. Configure network settings in the operating system or router as needed.

Recommendations

For optimal 2.5 Gbit/s performance use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and ensure connected network equipment (switch, router) supports multi-gigabit speeds. Use the low profile bracket in compact systems if required and keep drivers up to date for best stability.
