## Long description

The Intel Ethernet Network Adapter I226-T1 is an internal wired PCIe network card designed for personal computers and workstations. The ultra-compact PCIe 3.1 x1 adapter supports multi-gigabit connectivity up to 2.5GbE and is compatible with legacy speeds (1Gbps, 100Mbps, 10Mbps) through autonegotiation, allowing use with existing cabling. The adapter is built on the Intel Ethernet Controller I226-LM and includes a ventilated bracket for improved thermal efficiency and reduced power consumption.
Advantages
The I226-T1 delivers multi-core optimized performance with advanced interrupt-handling and intelligent packet filtering and queueing to reduce CPU overhead and improve throughput on multi-core platforms. It offers straightforward integration in compact systems via a PCIe x1 slot and supports common Ethernet standards (IEEE 802.3 family). The adapter provides a cost-effective upgrade path to 2.5GbE without replacing cabling infrastructure.
Suitable for
Home and small office desktops requiring higher-than-gigabit LAN speeds
Workstations used for enterprise and professional applications
Gaming PCs where reduced latency and improved network throughput are desired
