ICY BOX IB-LAN300-PCI Internal Ethernet 2500 Mbit/s

LAN port – faster and safer
Wireless connections are highly convenient in many situations. But should you require high data transfer rates, then cable connections are more secure than wireless ones, i.e. they offer a lower risk if security measures available via WLAN are not or cannot be fully exploited. For example, an Ethernet interface is the best way to transfer files between devices with maximum transfer rate and security.

Future-proof
The adapter is fully downward compatible with previous network standards such as Gigabit
(10/100/1000) networks. It also supports both full-duplex and half-duplex networks as well as Wake-on-LAN. This makes the card an ideal choice for current and future network connectivity.

Need a connection to 2.5 GbE network?
Consumer network transfer rates have been stayed at a maximum of “only” 1 Gbit/s for quite some time. Although 5 Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s PCIe network interface cards (NIC) are becoming more affordable, it may still be too expensive for most people to completely switch over. Now the slightly less performant but more affordable 2.5 Gbit/s NICs, such as the IB-LAN300-PCI, are available at a lower purchase price.
