DIGITUS Gigabit Ethernet PCI-e kaart 2.5G Ethernet NIC (CHIPSET: RTL8125B)

DIGITUS PCIe Gigabit Network Card provides a fast multi-gigabit wired connection for a PCI Express slot, supporting up to 2.5 Gbps (2500 Mbps) over a single RJ45 port. The adapter is compatible with common Ethernet standards and includes a low-profile bracket for installation in compact cases.

Advantages

The card delivers multi-gigabit throughput suitable for streaming and gaming scenarios that require high data rates. It supports IEEE802.3x full-duplex flow control and IEEE802.1q VLAN tagging for network traffic management, and Wake-on-LAN for remote wake-up. A low-profile bracket is included for use in slim PC housings.

Key specifications

• Maximum data rate: up to 2500 Mbps (2.5G)
• Supported standards: IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3ab
• Interface: PCI Express (standard height) with additional low-profile bracket
• Connector: RJ45 LAN
• Features: IEEE802.3x full-duplex flow control, IEEE802.1q VLAN tagging, Wake-on-LAN
• Use case: streaming and gaming with high data rates

How to use

Install the card into an available PCI Express slot following your motherboard manual and secure it with the appropriate bracket (standard or low-profile). Connect a compatible Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port and configure the network settings in your operating system. If required, enable Wake-on-LAN and VLAN settings in BIOS/OS or network management tools.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables to achieve stable 2.5 Gbps performance and ensure your switch or router supports multi-gigabit links. Install the low-profile bracket only when using a compact case and verify driver compatibility for your operating system.
