Product information

Description

The StarTech.com ST2GPEX is a single-port 2.5Gbps PCI Express network card that adds a copper Ethernet port to a desktop or server via a x4 PCIe slot. Using the Realtek RTL8125 chipset, it provides multi-gigabit connectivity at four speeds — 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps — while remaining compatible with Windows, macOS and Linux.

Advantages

This PCIe network card delivers higher bandwidth over existing Ethernet cabling without requiring immediate infrastructure replacement, supporting 2.5GBASE-T and NBASE-T standards. The Realtek RTL8125 chipset and PCIe 2.0 interface enable up to a 250% increase in data rate compared with standard Gigabit Ethernet. Additional features include support for 16K jumbo frames, Auto-MDIX and Wake-on-LAN (WoL), and compatibility with CAT5e and CAT6a cabling for distances up to 100 m depending on configuration.

Suitable for

  • Upgrading desktops or workstations to Multi-Gigabit wired networking
  • Adding 2.5GbE connectivity to home offices, small businesses, or servers
  • Connecting to 2.5GBASE-T or NBASE-T switches and access points

How to use

Power down the computer and unplug it from the mains. Open the chassis and insert the ST2GPEX into an available PCIe x4 (or larger) slot, securing the card with the bracket screw. Close the case, reconnect power and boot the system. Install the appropriate driver for your operating system if not automatically detected; drivers are available for Windows, macOS and Linux. Connect an Ethernet cable from your switch, router or access point to the card's RJ45 port. Configure network settings on the host OS as required.

Usage recommendations

For best performance at 2.5Gbps, use CAT5e or better cabling and ensure connected network equipment (switches, routers, access points) supports 2.5GBASE-T or NBASE-T. Verify driver installation and firmware updates on both the host and network devices to maintain compatibility and stability.
