Product New and sealed Intel I226-V M.2 A+E 2.5GbE Ethernet NIC card. The NIC interface supports Multi-Gig speeds up to 2.5Gbps (2500Mbps). The NIC card is small and fits in many mini-PCs/micro-PCs - M.2 2230. Personally tested in an HP Elite Mini 800 G9 - Windows 11, pfSense and Proxmox Virtual Environments. Additional information: Intel I226 2.5GbE network card with M.2 A+E key, which features the advanced Intel I226-V high-performance network controller. This controller, equipped with a Base-T copper network interface, offers a compact, single-port solution for integrated multi-gigabit connectivity, supporting speeds up to 2.5Gbps. It is compliant with IEEE802.3 Ethernet standards and provides seamless compatibility for 2500BASE-T, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-TE connections. It also has compatibility with Intel vPro technology on specific Intel platforms. Designed for versatility, this network card is perfect for use in mobile devices, desktops, workstations, value servers, and industrial designs where space is limited.
