Netwerkkaart Intel EXPI9301CTBLK

The Intel EXPI9301CTBLK network card is an internal PCI Express (PCIe) adapter that provides wired Ethernet connectivity up to 1000 Mbps. Based on Intel’s 82574L Gigabit Ethernet controller, the card is designed for desktop systems with PCIe slots and delivers reliable, low-power gigabit networking for home and office use.

Advantages

The adapter supports auto-negotiation to select the highest available network speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and uses the dedicated bandwidth of the PCIe I/O bus to maintain consistent throughput. Its compact, low-power design and Intel controller ensure stable performance, while teaming support and other advanced features allow use as an entry-level server or enhanced desktop network interface.

Suitable for

• Upgrading a desktop PC to gigabit wired Ethernet
• Small office or home office wired networks
• Basic entry-level server networking and NIC teaming
