DeLOCK PCI Express x2 Card to 2 x RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN RTL8125

The DeLOCK PCI Express x2 Card provides two RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN ports for wired network connectivity. Using NBASE-T technology, the card supports higher-than-gigabit speeds over conventional Ethernet cables and is designed for installation in a PCI Express x2 slot to add or upgrade wired network capabilities.

Advantages

The card offers two 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 ports, enabling higher throughput than standard 1 Gbps adapters when connected to compatible infrastructure. NBASE-T support allows automatic negotiation of the best possible transmission rate (including 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps) over existing cabling. The PCI Express x2 host interface makes the card suitable for desktop systems with available PCIe slots.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the card into an available PCI Express x2 (or compatible x4/x8/x16) slot on the desktop motherboard following standard anti-static precautions. Secure the card to the chassis, connect Ethernet cables to the RJ45 ports, and install any required drivers provided by the manufacturer or detected automatically by the operating system. After installation, verify link speeds in the network adapter settings to confirm 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps operation when connected to compatible switches or routers.

Recommendations

Use Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and compatible NBASE-T-capable networking equipment to achieve enhanced 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps throughput; ensure system drivers are up to date for optimal performance.
