Ethernet PCI Express Card Digitus DN-10132 2-port

Expand your PC with two Gigabit Ethernet ports using a single PCI Express slot. The DIGITUS DN-10132 Ethernet PCI Express Card provides two RJ45 ports with up to 1000 Mbit/s per port, an integrated Intel 82575EB chipset and support for IPv4 and IPv6. The card complies with IEEE 802.3/u/ab standards and includes a low-profile bracket for installation in compact PC cases.

Advantages

The card delivers full Gigabit throughput on both ports, supports jumbo frames (up to 9.5k), RSS and VMDq for improved network performance, and offers auto MDI/MDIX for simplified cabling. Built around the Intel 82575EB chipset, it provides stable driver support and compatibility with common server and workstation configurations.

Suitable for

• Servers and workstations requiring two additional wired network ports
• Compact PC cases where a low-profile slot bracket is needed
• Virtualization hosts and systems running virtual machines
• Router, firewall or network gateway setups

Key specifications

• Model: DIGITUS DN-10132
• Chipset: Intel 82575EB
• Ports: 2 × RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s per port)
• Host interface: PCI Express (PCIe)
• Standards: IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab
• Features: IPv4, IPv6, RSS, auto MDI/MDIX, Jumbo Frames (9.5k), VMDq

How to use

Power down the PC and unplug it. Install the card into an available PCIe slot on the motherboard and secure it with the screw provided; replace the bracket with the low-profile bracket if needed for compact cases. Reconnect power, boot the system and install the appropriate drivers for the Intel 82575EB chipset if the operating system does not install them automatically. Connect network cables to the RJ45 ports to begin using the Gigabit connections.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use quality Cat5e or Cat6 network cables and configure MTU settings to support jumbo frames only if your network infrastructure (switches and other endpoints) also supports them. Install the latest drivers from the system vendor or Intel to ensure full feature support and stability.
