## Long description

The StarTech.com ST1000SPEX43 4-Port PCIe Gigabit Network Adapter Card adds four independent Gigabit RJ45 ports to a client, server or workstation using a single PCI Express slot. Designed for wired network environments, the card uses the Realtek RTL8111G chipset and supports full-duplex Gigabit connections with a combined maximum throughput of up to 2000 Mbit/s (1000 Mbit/s per direction, per port). It is suitable for systems that need multiple physical network interfaces without occupying additional expansion slots.
Advantages
This quad-port PCIe network adapter provides reliable, high-performance connectivity for business, corporate or government IT environments. With four separate Gigabit Ethernet ports, the card enables connections to multiple networks or VLANs from one expansion slot. The use of the Realtek RTL8111G chipset ensures stable operation and broad driver support across many operating systems. The adapter is a cost-effective solution for upgrading servers or workstations and supports virtualized environments where multiple NICs are required (verify VM software chipset compatibility).
Suitable for
Adding multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports to servers or workstations
High-bandwidth workstations requiring separate network connections
Virtualized environments that need several physical NICs
SMB and enterprise network upgrades where budget and slot availability are limited
