Intel I225 Chip PCIe x4 2.5G 4-Port Server Network Card 2500Mbps Quad RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, 4 x 2.5G LAN Ports, Industrial Camera / Server / Desktop

The GE-E013-I225-4S is a 2.5Gbps Ethernet PCI Express 4-port Gigabit Network Adapter, featuring a brand-new, original Intel I225 2.5G network controller chip. It offers low power consumption, ultra-low latency, stable transmission, and minimal packet loss or signal distortion. Supporting high-performance dual-channel networking and full-duplex communication, it delivers rapid transfer rates up to 2500Mbps while maintaining backward compatibility with existing Ethernet infrastructures. This adapter is specifically designed for desktop PCs and servers equipped with available PCI Express x4, x8, or x16 slots, providing an ideal upgrade solution for gaming users who find Gigabit Ethernet insufficient but don't yet need 10G connectivity.

Powered by the genuine Intel I225 chipset, this 2.5G network adapter supports data transfer rates up to 2.5 Gbps. Leveraging next-generation 2.5GBaseT technology, it delivers up to 2.5× the speed of typical Gigabit adapters. The adapter supports three speeds: 2.5Gbps, 1Gbps, and 100Mbps.

It fits any PCI Express x4, x8, or x16 slot (PCIE x1 and legacy PCI slots are not supported). A lowprofile bracket is included, making it compatible with both standard and smallformfactor chassis.

The GE-E013-I225-4S currently supports Windows 10, Windows 11, and ESXi 7.0. Please note that Windows 8 and Windows 7 are not supported.
