Supports 2.5G and 1G Lite modes to adapt bandwidth to the network and workload, providing flexible performance options without hardware changes. Integrated 10/100/1000M/2.5G transceiver for broad compatibility with legacy Ethernet networks and higherspeed 2.5G connections where available. Autonegotiation with Extended Next Page (XNP) enables fast, reliable link setup with compatible switches, routers, and devices. PCI Express 2.1 interface ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of desktop motherboards and PCIe slots. Use scenarios: Upgrading a desktop PC or workstation to achieve faster file transfers to a network attached storage (NAS) or server, reducing wait times for large data moves. Connecting a home or small office NAS, media server, or virtualization host to a speed network to improve backups, streaming, and data access performance. Deploying in professional workstations or content creation environments that require bandwidth network access to render farms, remote storage, or server resources.
