Quad Port 2.5G Network Card with Realtek RTL8125BG, 100M/1000M Speed, Compatible with Windows, Linux, VMware

This is a high-speed network interface card (NIC) designed for users who need enhanced connectivity and performance for their computers or servers. It features a Realtek RTL8125BG controller and an ASMedia ASM1812 controller, allowing for speeds up to 2.5Gbps. The card includes four RJ-45 ports, though it's important to note that all four ports cannot operate at full speed simultaneously. This card is ideal for users who require faster data transfer rates for tasks like video streaming, large file transfers, or virtualization environments.

The card uses PCIe 2.1 with x4 lanes, ensuring compatibility with most modern motherboards that support this interface. It supports advanced networking features such as Jumbo Frames, Wake-on-LAN (WOL), DPDK, iSCSI, and FCoE. However, it does not support PXE or VLAN, which may be a limitation for some network configurations. The card is compatible with a wide range of operating systems including various versions of Windows, Linux distributions like Ubuntu and CentOS, and VMware ESXi 6.

In terms of design and usability, the card is built with standard components used in networking hardware. It does not include any special ergonomic features since it is a standard PCIe card that would be installed internally within a computer case. The card requires proper installation into an available PCIe slot and configuration through the operating system or virtualization platform.

Setup involves installing the card into a compatible PCIe slot and ensuring the correct drivers are installed for the operating system in use. No additional tools or accessories are included with the card, as it is a straightforward hardware component. Users may need to refer to the manufacturer's documentation for driver installation and configuration details.
