Network adapter HP Enterprise NC360T PCIe 4-port Gigabit RJ45

The HP Enterprise NC360T PCIe 4-port Gigabit RJ45 is a server-class network adapter that delivers four wired Gigabit Ethernet connections through a single PCIe card. Designed for use in servers and workstations, it provides reliable 1 Gb/s wired ports with hardware offload capabilities to reduce CPU load and maintain stable throughput for virtualized environments and high-density deployments.

Advantages

This adapter offers four independent Gigabit RJ45 ports on a compact PCIe form factor, enabling physical segregation of traffic and straightforward port expansion without additional switches. Hardware-assisted features improve networking efficiency by offloading checksums and segmentation, which helps sustain performance under heavy I/O load. The product is compatible with common server operating systems and supports standard Ethernet speeds for predictable wired connectivity.

Suitable for

• Expanding the number of wired Ethernet ports in servers and workstations
• Providing dedicated network interfaces for virtualization hosts and hypervisors
• Physical network segmentation for management, storage, and production traffic
• Replacing or upgrading aging single-port NICs in data center racks

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express (PCIe) card
• Port type and count: Four 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports
• Supported link speeds: 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps (auto-negotiation)
• Offload features: Hardware checksum and segmentation offload support
• Form factor: Low-profile/full-height bracket compatible PCIe card
• Typical operating environment: Data center and enterprise server use

How to use

Install the card into an available PCIe slot following the server or workstation manufacturer's service manual and ensure the system is powered off during installation. Secure the bracket, connect standard Cat5e/Cat6 network cables to the RJ45 ports, and boot the system. Install or enable the appropriate network drivers provided by the operating system or the vendor to ensure full functionality and access advanced features such as offload settings and link speed configuration.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use Cat5e or Cat6 cables and connect to switches or routers that support Gigabit speeds. Configure link aggregation or VLANs at the switch level if multiple ports will be used for redundancy or traffic segregation. Verify driver compatibility with your server OS and apply firmware updates when available to maintain stability and security.
