## Long description

The StarTech.com PR22GI-NETWORK-CARD is a dual-port 2.5Gbps PCIe network card using independent Intel I225-V controllers to provide two 2.5G Ethernet connections with NBASE-T (802.3bz) multispeed support. It fits into an available x2 PCIe 2.0 (or higher) slot and includes both standard- and low-profile brackets for installation in desktops and small form-factor systems. Compatible with Windows, Windows Server, VMware and Linux, the card supports features such as PXE boot, Wake-on-LAN, VLAN tagging and 9K jumbo frames.
Advantages
This dual-port network card delivers up to 2.5Gbps per port while remaining backward-compatible with 1Gbps and 100/10Mbps networks, allowing reuse of Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. With independent Intel I225-V chipsets on each port and Intel vPro support, it provides improved throughput and remote management capabilities for data-heavy tasks and troubleshooting. The package includes a low-profile bracket for flexible installation and supports common networking standards for broad interoperability.
Suitable for
 Upgrading desktop workstations to multi-gig wired connectivity
 Small office servers and NAS requiring increased throughput
 Media streaming, large file transfers and backups
 Network environments needing PXE boot, VLANs or Wake-on-LAN
