StarTech.com P011GI-NETWORK-CARD internal network card adapter 1000 Mbit/s

Add a fiber/copper GbE SFP transceiver or a direct-attach cable to a workstation or server

Add a 1GbE SFP module to a PCI Express (PCIe) 2.1 x1 (or higher) slot in an IT administrator workstation or server motherboard, using this 1-Port SFP Network Controller.

High-Performance Intel Chipset

The network controller features an Intel I210 chip known for its reliability and high-performance capabilities, offering low latency and low CPU utilization, ensuring smooth and efficient network data transfer, which is critical for business applications and services. Support for VMDq, SR-IOV, and Intel® VT-c technologies helps improve virtual machine performance, reduce CPU overhead, and enhance network virtualization capabilities. The PCIe network card supports PXE boot, allowing for centralized operating system deployment and updates. It also supports 9K jumbo frames, reducing packet overhead to improve data transmission efficiency. VLAN tagging support allows for efficient network management and segmentation.

Hardware and Operating System Compatibility

The network interface controller connects to an available x1 PCI Express 2.1 (or higher) expansion slot. It is compatible with Windows Server 2012 and later, Windows 10 and later, Linux, VMware ESXi 7.x, and Microsoft Hyper-V. This NIC is compatible with both branded and MSA-compliant 1GB SFP modules, as well as direct-attach copper cables (DACs). It includes a low-profile bracket designed for small form factor systems.

Flexible Network Connections

The card incorporates an SFP slot for swappable SFP modules. Select the fiber transceiver modules that best suit the application's network needs, based on distance and connector type. StarTech.com offers a wide variety of SFP transceiver modules to meet many GbE network applications.
