EXSYS EX-6081POE 1-Port PCIe 2.5G PoE+ Network Card

The EXSYS EX-6081POE stands apart by combining a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe adapter with IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus output, delivering up to 30W to a connected device directly from the card. This integration eliminates the need for a separate PoE injector, making it a compact solution for powering IP cameras, access points, or other PoE devices while upgrading network speed beyond standard Gigabit.

Highlights

• 1x RJ45 2.5GBASE-T port with auto-negotiation for 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps, and 10 Mbps
• IEEE 802.3at PoE+ output up to 30W via 12V DC SATA power connector
• PCI Express 2.1 x1 host interface with Realtek RTL8125B chipset
• Supports jumbo frames up to 16 KB, Wake-on-LAN, and PXE boot
• Includes low-profile bracket for slim desktop or server chassis

In daily use

The EX-6081POE installs into a standard PCIe x1 slot and provides a single high-speed 2.5G Ethernet port with PoE+ capability. It is compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS, and supports VLAN tagging, QoS priority encoding, and full-duplex flow control for reliable network performance. LED indicators show link/activity and PoE status at a glance.
