2.5Gbps PCIe x4 network card
The StarTech ST2GPEX adds a single 2.5GBASE-T port to a desktop or server through a PCI Express x4 slot. It suits IT teams upgrading existing CAT5e or CAT6a runs without recabling and works with Windows, macOS and Linux out of the box.
Capacity and headroom
The Realtek RTL8125 controller negotiates 2.5G, 1G, 100Mbps and 10Mbps links, so the card delivers full 2.5Gbps throughput on CAT5e and CAT6a while falling back gracefully to slower switches. Bandwidth tops out at the 2.5Gbps line rate; heavier multi-gig workloads need faster interfaces.
PCIe x4 interface limits
The x4 electrical connection provides ample lane headroom for the 2.5Gbps PHY, so the slot is not a bottleneck. Actual throughput depends on the host system PCIe generation and on the cabling standard deployed in the building.

Fragen zu diesem Artikel
Will the ST2GPEX work in my older PCIe x1 slot?
The card uses a PCIe x4 interface but will negotiate down to x1 bandwidth; it will still link at 2.5G, 1G, 100Mbps or 10Mbps depending on the switch and cable.
Which LED confirms the card is running at 2.5Gbps?
A single green LED lights when the link is negotiated at 2.5Gbps; a second green LED covers 1Gbps, 100Mbps and 10Mbps speeds.
Does the box include both brackets for low-profile and full-height cases?
Yes, the package contains the network card, a low-profile bracket and a quick-start guide; the standard bracket is pre-installed on the card.
