StarTech.com ST2000SPEXI 2 Port PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Network Card

This PCI Express Dual Port Gigabit Network Card from StarTech.com lets you add two gigabit Ethernet ports to a desktop computer through a single, four-lane (x4 or higher) PCI Express slot. Each port is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3/u/ab standards, for 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation.

This 2-port GbE network card is based on the high-performance Intel® I350 chipset, which offers several advanced driver options including IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation/teaming support, enabling you to add additional bandwidth to your system. Support for Jumbo Frames, full-duplex operation and 802.1q VLAN tagging also aid in creating an efficient network configuration.

Also useful for virtualisation applications or setting up a dual-homed host configuration, this dual-port network card lets you accommodate several complex network scenarios to meet your business needs. For added versatility, the controller card is equipped with a standard profile bracket and includes a low-profile/half-height bracket for installation in small form-factor computers.

It is backed by a 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
