EXSYS EX-60104 Quad 1 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe x1 Card (Realtek RTL8111H)

When a server or workstation needs more wired network ports than the motherboard provides, the EX-60104 solves the problem with four independent Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on a single PCIe x1 card. It is a straightforward way to add capacity for virtualisation, routing, or link aggregation without replacing the host system.

Who is it for

System integrators, homelab builders, and IT administrators who need multiple physical LAN segments or redundant uplinks in a compact, low-profile-compatible form factor. The card fits standard and low-profile chassis and works with Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Main features

• Four RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, each driven by a dedicated Realtek RTL8111H controller
• PCI Express x1 host interface, compatible with x4, x8, and x16 slots
• Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps data rates with auto-negotiation and full duplex
• Jumbo frame support up to 9K bytes for efficient large transfers
• Wake-on-LAN and PXE boot support for remote management and deployment
• LED indicators for link status and activity on each port
• Includes low-profile bracket for slim chassis
