Overview

The PR15GR-NETWORK-CARD is a single-port 5G Ethernet network adapter card designed for high-speed data transfer over PCIe. It supports multiple data rates including 10/100 Mbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 5 Gbps, providing a cost-effective path to bridge the gap between standard Gigabit Ethernet and 10GbE infrastructures. The card utilizes a PCIe x1 interface, making it compatible with a wide range of desktop and industrial computer motherboards.

Why Choose This Part

This card features 9K jumbo frame support and VLAN tagging to optimize network efficiency and security. It is designed for reliability with an operating temperature range of 5C to 65C and includes LED indicators for immediate visual confirmation of link speed and status. The auto-negotiation capability ensures seamless integration with legacy 10/100/1000Mbps hardware while enabling 2.5G and 5G speeds where supported.

Applications

Industrial PC Upgrades
Adding high-bandwidth 5G connectivity to industrial workstations that require faster data throughput than standard 1GbE.
Network Attached Storage (NAS)
Improving file transfer speeds between servers and storage arrays in local networks using existing Cat5e or Cat6 cabling.
High-Resolution Video Streaming
Providing the necessary bandwidth for uncompressed or low-compression video feeds in monitoring and broadcasting applications.

Key Specifications

Type 5G Ethernet (LAN)
Interface PCI Express

Getting Started

Installation involves inserting the card into an available PCIe x1 (or higher) slot and installing the appropriate drivers for your operating system. For maximum performance at 5G speeds, ensure that you are using Cat6 or better cabling and that the connected switch or router also supports the NBASE-T standard. Configure Wake-on-LAN (WoL) in the system BIOS/UEFI if remote power-on functionality is required.
