This provides a dual port, 2.5 Gigabit network card for your homelab server or client desktop. PCI Express x1 interface, but can be installed in x4, x8 or x16 slots as well.
Brand new, with low and high profile brackets, it uses the Intel i226 chipset, fairly well supported across recent Linux, Windows, and even BSD now. It does not have some of the issues inherent in the earlier i225, Intel's first try at 2.5gig!
OPNsense 22.7+ and PFsense 2.7+ are supported, though you probably want to seek out and install the latest manufacturer or community supplied drivers specifically for the chip, regardless of O/S.
If purchased alongside a server from me, it has been (or will be!) tested as compatible with the server, and come fitted internally with appropriate bracket. Let me know if you do specifically need the spare bracket, though I usually include it anyway!
Appearance may vary with manufacturer, though whichever card supplied has been tested by myself to ensure it's up to scratch :)
If buying at the same time as a server from me it will come pre installed, and the postage will be refunded.
